Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a technique of suppressing the occurrence of an impact caused by clutch engagement by differently controlling a clutch depending on whether or not a brake is in operation. Disclosed is a method of controlling a clutch for a vehicle, which effectively reduces engagement impact that occurs when the clutch is engaged by performing control such that a rising slope of clutch torque up to a touch point is gentler when the brake is not in operation than when the brake is in operation.
