CONTROL APPARATUS FOR VEHICULAR DRIVE UNIT

A control apparatus for a vehicular drive unit is provided. The vehicular drive unit includes a continuously variable transmission (16), and a clutch (18). The control apparatus includes an electronic control unit (50) that is configured to acquire an oil temperature of hydraulic oil for controlling the continuously variable transmission (16) and the clutch (18), and control the clutch (18) such that a torque capacity of the clutch (18) becomes smaller than a torque capacity that is set in a case where an oil temperature of the hydraulic oil is higher than a predetermined oil temperature, when the oil temperature is equal to or lower than the predetermined oil temperature, or control the continuously variable transmission (16) such that a speed ratio of the continuously variable transmission (16) becomes equal to or larger than a lower limit set in advance when the oil temperature of the hydraulic oil is equal to or lower than the predetermined oil temperature.
