ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSION FORCE SETTING METHOD FOR ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSION FORCE CONTROL DEVICE

When a depression force of an accelerator pedal 2 is increased than a base depression force by a predetermined increase amount when an accelerator opening degree becomes greater than an accelerator opening degree threshold value, an overshoot control is performed so that a depression force increase command is once increased than a depression force increase target command value A which increases the depression force of the accelerator pedal 2 than the base depression force by the predetermined amount, and returned to the depression force increase target command value A. In this overshoot control, an overshoot amount B of the depression force increase command with respect to the depression force increase target command value A, or an overshoot holding time during which the depression force increase command is held to a value greater than the depression force increase target command value A is set based on a magnitude of a hysteresis of a base depression force of the accelerator pedal 2. With this, it is possible to improve a response of the depression force increase when the depression force of the accelerator pedal 2 is increased than the base depression force, and to prevent the deterioration of the operability of the accelerator pedal.
