Claim Text:
1. A method for controlling a motor vehicle and processing data recorded during a data-acquisition operation, the recorded data defining, according to a first characteristic curve, a correspondence relationship between values of torque transmitted by a clutch and values of position of a clutch-control device, an initial scope of the recorded data as it relates to values of position of the clutch-control device being defined from lowest and highest recorded values of position of the clutch-control device, the initial scope of the recorded data being less than a maximum scope of lowest and highest values of position of the clutch-control device, the processing method comprising: predefining and storing clutch-control device position data, which is different from the clutch-control device position data of the recorded data, the predefined clutch-control device position data including a predefined change in clutch-control device position; recording, in a table, the clutch-control device position data and torque data as the initial scope of the recorded data; based on said predefined clutch-control device position data, appending clutch-control device position data outside the initial scope to the recorded data in the table to define, according to a modified characteristic curve, a modified correspondence relationship between values of torques transmitted by the clutch and values of positions of the clutch-control device, the modified correspondence relationship to be used in a device for power assistance of uphill maneuvers of the motor vehicle including a motive power assembly connected to driving wheels by a kinematic chain including the clutch and a brake system, the power-assistance device automatically commanding release of the brake system; and controlling the device for power assistance of uphill maneuvers of the motor vehicle according to the table that defines the modified correspondence relationship between values of the torques transmitted by the clutch and the values of the positions of the clutch-control device.
