Abstract:
1. A method for control of a motor vehicle's propulsion comprising: demanding a degree of clutch torque of a clutch of the vehicle by activating an engine accelerator and producing engine torque to propel the vehicle; controlling a degree of closure of a clutch actuator based on feedback based on a monitored engine torque of the vehicle; selectively activating at least one further consumer of engine power in addition to propulsion of the vehicle; detecting activation of the at least one further consumer; and when such activation is detected, changing the feedback control to an open control, wherein the degree of closure of the vehicle's clutch actuator is based on a predetermined relationship between the degree of closure and the clutch torque, wherein the clutch torque is demanded by the driver by activation of the engine accelerator.
