Method for controlling a clutch
View Patent ↗A method is described for controlling a clutch which is located between a drive motor and an automated manual transmission of a drive train. In this method, vibrations during load alternations are reduced by controlling the clutch so that a free-wheeling function is implemented during an engine braking mode.
1. A method for controlling a clutch located between a drive motor and an automated manual transmission of a drive train, the method comprising:
controlling the clutch so as to change from an engine braking mode to a free-wheeling mode, wherein the clutch is disengaged to implement the free-wheeling mode when a transmission gear is equal to or less than a maximum free-wheeling gear.
2. A method for controlling a clutch located between a drive motor and an automated manual transmission of a drive train, the method comprising:
controlling the clutch so as to change from an engine braking mode to a free-wheeling mode, wherein the clutch is disengaged to implement the free-wheeling mode when a vehicle's driving speed is less than a maximum free-wheeling speed.
3. A method for controlling a clutch located between a drive motor and an automated manual transmission of a drive train, the method comprising:
controlling the clutch so as to change from an engine braking mode to a free-wheeling mode, wherein the clutch is disengaged to implement the free-wheeling mode when no downhill driving is detected.
