A method for regenerating a particulate filter

摘要

A method is described for minimizing engine torque disturbances that would otherwise cause degraded drive feel by a vehicle driver. The method utilises multiple torque transmission paths of a transaxle unit 200 mounted to an engine 10 and, in particular, during particulate filter regeneration a potential torque increase is transmitted through multiple torque paths of the transmission 200 to maintain output torque at a relatively constant level.
