Abstract
A method of controlling a clutch of a vehicle, by which the clutch can be controlled to reduce jerking impacts in the case of a sudden behavior in engine torque. An amount of APS opening and engine torque are received while the vehicle is cruising using driving force from an engine. When the amount of APS opening is smaller than a first reference value, the clutch is controlled to slip by controlling clutch torque to be smaller than engine torque. After controlling the clutch slip, when the engine acts as a load while the vehicle is cruising, the clutch is engaged by application of the clutch torque to the clutch.
