Patent ID: 10053098

Abstract:
A method for disengaging a parking lock of a dual-clutch transmission of a motor vehicle with at least one drive unit is provided. The method includes, upon detection of an absolute value of a road inclination along a longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle exceeding a predetermined threshold and upon actuation of a selector lever for disengaging the parking lock prior to disengagement of the parking lock, issuing a torque request to the drive unit and closing a power-shifting clutch of the dual-clutch transmission with an engaged gear in a sub-transmission to which the power-shifting clutch is allocated. A torque transferred by the power-shifting clutch as a consequence of closing the power-shifting clutch and the torque request to the drive unit is a relief torque. The torque request to the drive unit and the closed power-shifting clutch are selected to counteract a torque, supported by a parking lock pawl, applying with an engaged parking lock by drive wheels on an output side at the transmission.
