Abstract

The invention relates to a method for carrying out a starting operation of a motor vehicle having a gear train that includes a dual clutch transmission with a first clutch that carries the odd-numbered gears, and a second clutch that carries the even-numbered gears, wherein the second clutch of the dual clutch transmission is used, at least in part, for preloading the gear train.

Claims (10)

1. A method for carrying out a starting operation of a motor vehicle having a gear train that includes a dual clutch transmission having a first clutch that carries the odd-numbered gears, and a second clutch that carries the even-numbered gears, the method comprising:

using the second clutch of the dual clutch transmission, and engaging one of the even-numbered gears for preloading the gear train before the motor vehicle begins to move,

wherein the preloading of the gear train is based entirely on the second clutch of the dual clutch transmission, and

wherein the preloading of the dual clutch transmission takes place by operating the second clutch with slip and by transmitting a preload torque to the engaged one of the even-numbered gears during operation with slip.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, for preloading the gear train, torque is transmitted from an engine to the second clutch of the dual clutch transmission.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, after the preloading of the gear train, torque for accelerating the motor vehicle is transmitted to the first clutch.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the dual clutch transmission is based on the wet clutch type.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second clutch is situated radially inside the first clutch, in particular a cooling oil flowing to the first clutch through the second clutch.

6. A controller that is configured for carrying out the method according to claim 1 .

7. A motor vehicle having a control module according to claim 1 .
