ABSTRACT:
In a method of controlling an automatic clutch arranged between an engine and a drive train of a vehicle in vehicle startup situations wherein the clutch is engaged to such a degree that only a small torque can be transmitted through the clutch and wherein the clutch is increasingly engaged when engine power output is increased, the clutch is immediately returned toward disengagement if, during vehicle startup, the engine power output requirements are suddenly reduced and, after a predetermined delay, the clutch is adjusted to the new situation that is to a standstill of the vehicle or to a renewed startup situation.
