An ECT-ECU executes a program that includes a step of executing a stepped shift control (S400) if cruise control is not being executed (S200: NO) during sequential shift control (stepped shift control) (S1OO: YES) and a step of executing stepless shift control (S300) in response to cruise control being activated (S200: YES) during sequential shift control (stepped shift control) (S1OO: YES). Un ECT-ECU (commande électronique de transmission- unité centrale) exécute un programme incluant: un changement de vitesse étagé (S400) si la commande de vitesse de croisière n'est pas exécutée (S200: NON) pendant un changement de vitesse séquentiel (changement de vitesse étagée) (S1OO: OUI); et un changement de vitesse en continu (S300) si la commande de vitesse de croisière est exécutée (S200: OUI) pendant un changement de vitesse séquentiel (changement de vitesse étagée) (S1OO: OUI).
