Abstract
A method for altering the coupling torque of a coupling in the drive train of a vehicle with an automatic gearbox and/or automatic coupling in a creep drive mode of a vehicle. According to the invention, the coupling torque is altered according to at least one variable, the parameter of the vehicle describing the creep drive mode thereof.
Claims2
A method for changing a clutch torque of a clutch in a power train of a vehicle having an automated manual shift transmission and/or an automated clutch in a creep drive mode of the vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:
- monitoring a strength of a vehicle brake actuation during the creep mode;
- and
- reducing the clutch torque as a function of the strength of the vehicle brake actuation;
- wherein the clutch torque is reduced at a first rate when the strength of the vehicle brake actuation is below a certain threshold and at a second rate faster than the first rate when the strength of the vehicle brake actuation is above the certain threshold.
