Abstract
The invention concerns a method for controlling a motor vehicle (2) with an automatic transmission (6) and an automated clutch (8), with a control unit (20), a drive or accelerator pedal (32), an element (30) for determining the position of the drive or accelerator pedal, and an actuating device (28) for selecting an operating mode of the motor vehicle (2). According to the invention, when the actuating means (28) is operated the position of the drive or accelerator pedal (32) is noted or evaluated, and actuation of the clutch (8) is prevented until a change in the position of the drive or accelerator pedal is recognized.

A method of controlling a motor vehicle (2) having an automatic transmission (6) and an automated clutch (8), a control unit (20), one of a drive or an accelerator pedal (32), an element (30) for determining a position of the drive or the accelerator pedal (32), and an actuating device (28) for selecting an operating mode of the motor vehicle (2), the method comprising the steps of:
- evaluating the position of the drive or the accelerator pedal (32), when the actuating device (28) is operated;
- and
- preventing actuation of the dutch (8) until a change in the position of the drive or the accelerator pedal (32) is recognized.
A method of controlling a motor vehicle (2) having an automatic transmission (6) and an engine (4) with an automated clutch (8) being located between the automatic transmission (6) and the engine (4), a control unit (20) being coupled to the automatic transmission (6), one of a drive or an accelerator pedal (32), a sensor (30) being coupled to the one of the drive or the accelerator pedal (32) for determining a position thereof with the sensor (30) being coupled to the control unit (20), a clutch control (24) being coupled to the automated clutch (8) for controlling operation of the automated clutch (8) with the clutch control (24) being coupled to the control unit (20), and an actuating device (28) for selecting an operating mode of the motor vehicle (2) with the actuating device (28) being coupled to the control unit (20), the method comprising the steps of:
- evaluating the position of the drive or the accelerator pedal (32), when the actuating device (28) is operated;
- and
- preventing actuation of the automated clutch (8) until a change in the position of the drive or the accelerator pedal (32) is recognized.
A method of controlling an automated clutch (8) of a motor vehicle (2) with an automatic transmission (6), the method comprising the steps of:
- adjusting an actuating device (28) for changing an operating mode of the motor vehicle (2) from between two of a maneuver, a creep, a Neutral, a forward drive and a reverse drive operating mode;
- monitoring a position of an accelerator pedal (32);
- preventing actuation of a clutch (8) and the change of the operating mode of the motor vehicle (2) until the position of the accelerator pedal (32) has changed;
- engaging the clutch (8) only if the position of the accelerator pedal (32) has changed and the actuating device (28) is adjusted to change the operating mode of the motor vehicle (2) from one of the maneuver or the creep operating mode to one of the forward drive or the reverse drive operating mode;
- disengaging the clutch (8) only if the position of the accelerator pedal (32) has changed and the actuating device (28) is adjusted to change the operating mode of the motor vehicle (2) from one of the forward drive or the reverse drive operating mode to one of the maneuver or the creep operating mode;
- and
- engaging the clutch (8) only if the position of the accelerator pedal (32) has changed and the actuating device (28) is adjusted to change the operating mode of the motor vehicle (2) from the Neutral operating mode to one of the maneuver, the creep, the forward drive and the reverse drive operating mode.
