Abstract
The invention relates to a method for controlling a friction clutch in a drive train of a motor vehicle by means of a clutch actuator on the basis of a clutch model, in which method a nominal characteristic curve of the clutch moment which is transmitted via the friction clutch is adapted continuously to actual operating parameters. In order to counteract a loss of comfort of the motor vehicle, which is caused by the running-in behavior, for example, of the friction linings of the friction clutch, the friction clutch is operated by way of different sets of operating parameters during a running-in phase and in a run-in phase of the friction clutch.
Claims11
A method for controlling a friction clutch in a drivetrain of a motor vehicle by means of a clutch actuator, on the basis of a clutch model in which a nominal characteristic of the clutch torque, which is transmitted by the friction clutch, is adapted continuously to current operating parameters, wherein the friction clutch is operated using different sets of operating parameters during a running-in phase and a post-running-in phase of the friction clutch.
