Abstract
In a motor vehicle, a friction clutch is disposed between a drive unit and a transmission. The value of the contact point of the clutch is adapted at predetermined points in time. A method for controlling the friction clutch includes the steps of determining a value of the contact point of the friction clutch, this value having been modified as a result of an adaptation thereof, and of continuously reducing the value of the contact point at a predetermined ramp rate, without letting this value drop below a predefined contact point reduction value.
Claims8
A method for controlling a friction clutch, which is arranged in a motor vehicle between a drive train and a transmission, with the method comprising the following steps:
- determining a contact point value of a contact point of the friction clutch changed by way of adaptation,
- continuously reducing the contact point value with a predetermined ramp rate, and
- preventing the contact point value from being below a predetermined contact point reduction value.
