CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A CLUTCH OF A MOTOR VEHICLE

摘要

A system for controlling a friction clutch of a motor vehicle having a continuously variable transmission is disclosed. The system has an actuator (8) for shifting the clutch plate. The operator's intention to start the vehicle is detected (20, 21) in accordance with a first depression of an accelerator pedal. In response to the vehicle start intention signal (42), the actuator operates to shift the clutch plate to a partially engaged position. The clutch plate is kept at this position and the clutch plate is then shifted from the partially engaged position to a completely engaged position, when the transmission is upshifted.
