To provide a vehicular control apparatus capable of appropriately executing automatic stopping of an internal combustion engine depending on the state of permission or inhibition of operation a brake device that brakes and/or holds a vehicle in a stop state, thereby improving fuel economy by starting or automatically stopping the vehicle appropriately.SOLUTION: A vehicular control apparatus, for use in automatically stopping an internal combustion engine 3 when a given stop condition is established and restarting the engine when a given restart condition is established, includes a brake device 5 for braking a vehicle V to a stop state and hold the state. Permission or inhibition of operation of the brake device 5 is specified by an ABH stand-by switch 70 that is operated by a driver of the vehicle V. When the operation is the brake device 5 is permitted, the given stop condition for automatically stopping the internal combustion engine 3 is changed to a stricter side (refer to FIG. 5-step 9, FIG. 7-step 9A, FIG 9-step 22).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】車両を停車状態に制動・保持する制動装置の作動の許可又は禁止状態に応じて、内燃機関の自動停止を適切に実行し、それにより、車両の良好な発進性と自動停止による燃費の向上を実現できる車両の制御装置を提供する。【解決手段】本発明は、内燃機関３を、所定の停止条件が成立したときに自動的に停止させ、所定の再始動条件が成立したときに自動的に再始動させる車両の制御装置である。この制御装置は、車両Ｖを停車状態に制動し、保持するための制動装置５を備える。この制動装置５の作動の許可又は禁止は、車両Ｖの運転者により操作されるＡＢＨスタンバイスイッチ７０によって指定される。制動装置５の作動が許可されているときには、内燃機関３を自動的に停止させる所定の停止条件がより厳しい側に変更される（図５のステップ９、図７のステップ９Ａ、図９のステップ２２）。【選択図】図５
