A control apparatus for a vehicular drive system provided with an automatic transmission constituting a part of a power transmitting path between an electric motor and drive wheels, and a fluid-operated power transmitting device provided between the electric motor and the automatic transmission and having an input rotary element connected to said electric motor, and an output rotary element connected to said automatic transmission, includes a warm-up control implementing portion configured to implement a stall control of said fluid-operated power transmitting device wherein the input rotary element of said fluid-operated power transmitting device is rotated by said electric motor while the fluid-operated power transmitting device is placed in a stalling state.

A level indication system for a vehicle includes a control system. The control system is configured to acquire stability data regarding a stability characteristic of the vehicle at a current location, determine whether the stability characteristic is within an operational range, provide a first indication that the vehicle is reconfigurable at the current location into an operable state in response to determining that the stability characteristic is within the operational range, and provide a second indication that the vehicle is not reconfigurable at the current location into the operable state in response to determining that the stability characteristic is within a nonoperational range.

A level indication system includes a sensor system and a control system. The sensor system is positioned to acquire stability data regarding a stability characteristic of a vehicle at a current location. The stability characteristic includes at least one of a slope, a grade, or a jackknife angle. The control system is configured to determine whether the stability characteristic is within an operational range or a nonoperational range, provide an indication that the vehicle is reconfigurable at the current location into a state whereby the vehicle is operable at the current location in response to determining that the stability characteristic is within the operational range or an indication that the vehicle is not operable at the current location in response to determining that the stability characteristic is within the nonoperational range, and facilitate engaging a stabilization system of the vehicle in response to the stability characteristic being within the operational range.

When a parking brake mechanism is in a braking state and an operation switch is switched to a braking-released state, a control unit of an electric vehicle brings a parking brake mechanism into a braking-released state on the condition that the control unit detects using a stop lamp switch that the brake pedal is not depressed and detects that the shift range of the shift lever is a P range.
