A control apparatus for a motor vehicle is provided in which each of a plurality
of output values of the vehicle varies depending upon a plurality of input control
parameters for controlling the vehicle. The control apparatus changes the input
control parameter or parameters so that each of the output values becomes substantially
equal to a corresponding target output value. The control apparatus then determines
adapted values of the input control parameters, based on values of the input control
parameters obtained when each of the output values becomes substantially equal
to the corresponding target output value or falls within a permissible adaptation
range of the target output value.
