In an apparatus for controlling a starting clutch (7) of a vehicle having a function of stopping engine idling so that an engine (1) is automatically stopped under given conditions when the vehicle is at a standstill, the starting clutch (7) being disposed in a transmission of the vehicle in series with a belt type continuously variable transmission mechanism (5) which receives an input of a power from the engine through a power transmission mechanism having built therein hydraulically operated frictional engaging elements (64, 65), the vehicle start-up from the state of engine stopping is made smoothly at a good response. At the time of vehicle start-up from the state of engine stopping, when the rotational speed (NDR) of the drive pulley (50) of the transmission mechanism (6) has increased to a predetermined speed (YNDR2), the control mode of the starting clutch is switched from the waiting mode in which the engaging force of the starting clutch (7) is kept below a creeping force which causes the vehicle to creep, to a running mode in which the engaging force of the starting clutch (7) is increased above the creeping force. <IMAGE> |
