Vehicle And Method For Controlling The Same

摘要

Whether the master cylinder pressure Pm of the brake master cylinder is higher than the reference pressure Pmref is determined (step S 120 ). Based on the determination, the lock-up clutch of the torque converter is promptly released (step S 130 ) or gradually released (step S 140 ). Whether the master cylinder pressure Pm is higher than the reference pressure Pmref is determined (step S 160 ). Based on the determination, the connection provided by the clutch is promptly terminated (step S 170 ), or gradually terminated (step S 180 ). Because the lock-up clutch is released and the connection provided by the clutch is terminated based on the operation of the brake pedal performed by the driver, a sense of discomfort felt by the driver can be suppressed.
