A control system for a vehicle having automatic transmission enables the gears to be shifted according to two different control modes, namely the standard SPORT mode and a steady-state driving mode in which the gears are shifted so as to minimise fuel consumption. Changes between the modes are effected in response to movements of the accelerator pedal. Le système de commande pour véhicule à transmission automatique décrit permet d'effectuer les changements de vitesses selon deux modes de commande différents, soit le mode "SPORT" standard et un mode avec entraînement en régime permanent, pour lequel le changement des vitesses s'effectue de façon à réduire au minimum la consommation de carburant. Les changements de modes s'effectuent en réponse aux mouvements de la pédale de l'accélérateur.
