Patent ID: 6939265

Claim:
A method of controlling a motor vehicle with an automated clutch, with an engine that is actuated by an engine control device, with an actuator-controlled automated transmission, and with at least one electronic control device for actuating the transmission and the clutch, the method including the steps of: detecting a quantity that is at least representative of a traveling speed of the vehicle, detecting an actuation of at least one of a brake and a fuel-metering element, detecting an operating state of the engine, taking the clutch out of engagement if the engine is found to be running while the vehicle is found to be traveling at a speed greater than a threshold value, and if at the same time neither a brake pedal nor the fuel-metering element is found to be actuated, and subsequently re-engaging the clutch if at least one of the brake pedal and the fuel-metering element is found to be actuated, wherein prior to said re-engaging of the clutch, a transmission input rpm-rate is determined, and an engine rpm-rate is controlled in such a manner that said engine rpm-rate and said transmission input rpm-rate are brought towards a closer agreement.
