The electronic control unit is configured to release the clutch and stop the engine when a predetermined execution condition is satisfied during traveling, such that the vehicle performs coasting. The electronic control unit is configured to keep the continuously variable transmission at a speed ratio established at start of the coasting, during the coasting of the vehicle. The electronic control unit is configured to restart the engine that has been stopped and perform downshift of the continuously variable transmission, when a predetermined return condition is satisfied during the coasting. The electronic control unit is configured to engage the clutch after the downshift is started, such that the vehicle returns from the coasting.

    Abstract: A control device according to the present invention performs an automatic stop control in which an injection of fuel from a fuel injection valve is stopped and a rotation of an engine is stopped when an automatic stop condition is satisfied. Furthermore, the control device controls an injection operation of fuel and an ignition operation to the fuel in consideration of compression when the fuel is actually ignited in an expansion stroke cylinder, when a re-start demand occurs after an initiation of the automatic stop control and the engine is to be re-started by an ignition start-up. Specifically, the control device predicts a crank angle at an actual ignition time point in a case where processing for performing the ignition start-up at the present time whenever a predetermined time period has passed. Then, the control device initiates the ignition start-up when the crank angle falls within a predetermined range in which a sufficient compression can be attained. Thereby, the engine is more certainly re-started by the ignition start-up.
