Abstract
A control device for a gear of a motor vehicle, where the control device adjusts the speeds or transmissions of a gear according to a control program. In order to improve the setting of options and parameters to influence the control program, it is proposed that a memory be provided in the control device in which the options or parameters to influence the control program are filed in an alterable manner. An input device is connected with the memory and that input device can access the memory in a writing fashion. It is thus possible to set or alter options or parameters to influence the control program via the input device.
Claims12
A control device for a transmission of a motor vehicle, for adjusting gears or gear ratios of the transmission based on a determination of a control program, said control device comprising:
- a first device for providing an automatic operating mode;
- a second device for providing a manual operating mode that is influenced by the driver;
- a memory for variably storing at least one of options and parameters for influencing the control program;
- and
- a display device for displaying said at least one of options and parameters, wherein the transmission is a continuously variable transmission, wherein the control program duplicates a stepped transmission to provide a duplicated transmission and, as an option in the memory, at least one of the following settings for the manual operating mode is selected:
- a type of duplicated transmission,
- a number of gears of the duplicated transmission,
- a first behavior of the transmission when an internal combustion engine driving the transmission has reached its upper speed limit,
- a second behavior of the transmission when a kick-down switch is actuated.
