Automatic clutch for motor vehicles generates warning signal to change amplitude and/or frequency of torque transmitted by clutch, dependent upon operational parameters of vehicle

摘要

The vehicle has a control unit to regulate the torque transmitted by the clutch, and an adjusting member for the torque. A warning element is activated in cases of misuse. The warning is a function of an operational parameter of the vehicle, and changes or switches on/off, amplitude and/or frequency of the transmitted torque. Operational parameters may be:- engine RPM, engine torque, engine oil temperature, cooling water temperature, ambient temperature, transmission torque, transmission temperature, transmission oil temperature, engaged gear, and/or vehicle speed.
