Abstract
A system for controlling a friction clutch of a motor vehicle having a continuously variable transmission. The system has an actuator for shifting a clutch plate of the clutch. Vehicle start intention is detected in accordance with a first depression of an accelerator pedal. In response to the vehicle start intention, the actuator operates to shift the clutch plate to a partial engagement position at a maximum speed. The clutch plate is kept at the position and then the clutch plate is shifted from the partial engagement position to an entire engagement position, when the transmission is upshifted.
