In an automatic transmission control system, an operating amount of a
throttle due to a driver's depression of an accelerator pedal is
detected, and the rotating number of an engine suitable for the detected
throttle operating amount is detected. The automatic transmission control
system includes a shift map defined by the throttle operating amount and
the engine rotating number. The actuation of upshift or downshift of a
transmission is automatically controlled based on the shift map. The
driver can be informed of a point where a shift map is switched by a
depression operation of the accelerator pedal so that generation of
unnecessary downshift and delay of upshift are prevented to allow a
vehicle to be efficiently driven.
