ABSTRACT:
A vehicle equipped with a system (30) for automatically disengaging and engaging a friction clutch (13) coupling between an engine (11) and a transmission (16). The vehicle is also equipped with an automatic brake system (34) for automatically applying and releasing a brake to and from wheels (43). The automatic clutch disengagement/engagement system (30) performs high speed clutch engagement at the time of restarting the vehicle. The automatic brake system (34) releases the brake upon completion of the quick clutch engagement. The quick clutch engagement occurs in a clutch play range. The amount of quick clutch engagement is determined by depression of an accelerator pedal (10). Since the accelerator depression varies from when the vehicle is started on a flat road to when on an inclination, an optimum brake releasing is effected regardless of the road inclination if the timing of brake release is determined in this manner.
