Abstract
A method for controlling an automated starter clutch (4) in a drive train of a motor vehicle (1), which drive train has a transmission (3). In at least one first mode, the starter clutch (4) is operated automatically and is transitioned in an event-controlled manner into a second mode, in which the starter clutch (4) can be operated in such a way that upon actuation of the starter clutch (4), at least one jolt-like movement of the motor vehicle (1) is caused. In the second mode, the actuation of the starter clutch (4) is initiated and controlled depending upon operation of an accelerator pedal (13).
Claims16
A method for controlling an automated starter clutch in a drive-train of a motor vehicle in which the drive-train has a transmission, the method comprising:
- in a first mode, automatically operating the starter clutch and changing the starter clutch over in an event-driven manner to a second mode in which the starter clutch is operable in such a way that when the starter clutch is actuated, at least one jolt-like movement of the motor vehicle occurs, and
- in the second mode, initiating the actuation of the starter clutch and controlling the actuation of the starter clutch by an actuation of an accelerator pedal.
A control unit for controlling an automated starter clutch in a drive-train of a motor vehicle, the drive-train having a transmission,
- wherein the control unit is designed to operate the starter clutch automatically at least in a first mode and, in an event-controlled manner, to change over to a second mode in order, by actuating the starter clutch, to bring about at least one jolt-like movement of the motor vehicle, the control unit is designed such that, in the second mode, the control unit initiates and controls the actuation of the starter clutch as a function of an actuation of an accelerator pedal.
A method of controlling an automated starter clutch in a drive-train of a motor vehicle in which the drive-train has a transmission, the method comprising:
- in a first mode, automatically operating the starter clutch and changing over the starter clutch in an event-driven manner to a second mode in which the starter clutch is operable in such a way that when the starter clutch is actuated, at least one jolt-like movement of the motor vehicle occurs, and
- in the second mode, initiating and controlling the actuation of the starter clutch by an actuation of an accelerator pedal.
