In the vehicle control unit for controlling the vehicle on the basis of a shift range detecting unit configured to detect a shift range selected by a shift operation and a vehicle speed detecting unit configured to detect a vehicle speed, when the shift range detecting unit detects the shift range in a direction opposite to the vehicle traveling direction in a state where the vehicle speed detecting unit detects a vehicle speed not less than a first speed V1, the vehicle control is carried out so that a compulsory deceleration is carried out by means of a deceleration unit provided in the vehicle instead of permitting the shift change corresponding to the shift range, the shift change being desirably permitted when the vehicle speed detecting unit detects that the vehicle speed decreases down to a vehicle speed not more than the first speed V1.
