发明名称 HYBRID VEHICLE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING AN ENGINE DISCONNECT CLUTCH FOR ENGINE START-UP
摘要 A vehicle includes an engine, a transmission, a clutch, and a controller. The clutch is configured to couple the engine and transmission during engine starts. The controller is programmed to alter an engine start torque apply schedule for the clutch such that the actual engine start time is less than the upper threshold time for a next engine start event. The controller may be further programmed to, in response to the actual engine start time being less than a lower threshold time for the engine start event, alter the engine start torque apply schedule for the clutch such the actual engine start time is greater than the lower threshold time for a next engine start event.

主权项 1. A vehicle comprising: an engine; a transmission; a clutch configured to couple the engine and transmission during engine starts; and a controller programmed to, in response to an actual engine start time exceeding an upper threshold time for an engine start event, alter an engine start torque apply schedule for the clutch during a next engine start event such that the actual engine start time is less than the upper threshold time.
