<p>A method of controlling the idle speed of an engine of a vehicle. In the case of a vehicle having an automatic transmission, the method includes increasing the engine speed from a first idle speed to a second idle speed higher than said first idle speed in response to a driver originating indication independent of an acceleration control of the vehicle that vehicle motion is desired, the higher second idle speed being set to achieve a desired level of vehicle creep. The acceleration control of the vehicle is typically an accelerator pedal which is depressed by the driver to accelerate the vehicle. In the case of a vehicle having either a manual or automatic transmission, the method includes increasing the engine speed from a first idle speed to a second idle speed higher than said first idle speed in response to the release of a brake of the vehicle brake system. The engine idle speed is returned to the first idle speed when the brake is re-engaged.</p> |
