CONTROLLER FOR VEHICLE

A vehicle includes a chain tensioner that serves as an oil damper using oil supplied from an oil pump. The vehicle includes a controller that controls a traveling mode of the vehicle in a BEV mode or a non-BEV mode. When shifting the traveling mode from the BEV mode to the non-BEV mode, the controller executes a high-pressure process for calculating a supply pressure of oil supplied to the chain tensioner that is higher when a duration of the BEV mode is greater than or equal to a specified time than when the BEV mode duration is less than the specified time.
