A transmission controller gives an engagement instruction to a forward clutch so that the forward clutch is engaged when a rotation speed of the engine becomes a target engine rotation speed set on the basis at least of a vehicle speed and a speed ratio of a continuously variable transmission after the engine is started, if a cancellation request for a sailing-stop control is made during execution of the sailing-stop control, and the continuously variable transmission is downshifted before the forward clutch is engaged, if the target engine rotation speed when the cancellation request for the sailing-stop control is made is less than a first predetermined value.
