Apparatus for controlling a clutch for vehicles

A vehicle clutch control apparatus having an actuator for operating a friction clutch for a vehicle and a controlling means for controlling the actuator, in which a first data representing a semi-engaging zone of said friction clutch is obtained in accordance with a command from said controlling means just after the engine is started and before the vehicle is driven to move, and at least the engaging operation of the clutch is carried out with reference to the first data, said apparatus comprising:

• a first means including a weight detector for producing a weight signal indicating the weight of the vehicle and its load and an inclination detector for producing an inclination signal indicating the degree of inclination of the vehicle, said first means producing a second data relating to the magnitude of the load of the vehicle on the basis of the weight signal and the inclination signal;
• and
• a second means for correcting the first data in accordance with the second data so that the corrected first data indicates a corrected semi-engaging zone in accordance with the vehicle load.
