mode selection control means provided to select one mode out of at least three modes which differ in driving force characteristics
as a control mode based on an external manipulation;
temporary changeover mode setting means provided to set an arbitrary mode from the respective modes as a temporary changeover
mode based on an external manipulation;
temporary changeover control means for changing over the mode selected by the mode selection control means and the temporary
changeover mode set by the temporary changeover mode setting means alternately based on an external manipulation; and
