ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a method and apparatus for controlling a continuously variable speed transmission of a motor vehicle driven by an internal-combustion engine, by means of a control arrangement having a selecting device which simulates a stepped transmission by adjusting transmission ratios in according to a group of preset transmission ratios. To prevent repeated up and down shifting, a control arrangement is provided with a unit for detecting driving situations in which a transmission ratio shift according to the preset transmission rations would be too large, and also a unit for adjusting the preset transmission ratio. The recognition unit activates the adjustment unit as soon as the above-described driving situation occurs, and the adjustment unit then changes a preset transmission ratio so that the motive force is adapted to the present motive resistance, allowing the vehicle to achieve a positive longitudinal acceleration.
