Abstract
A method for controlling clutch disengagement in a vehicle having an automated manual transmission including an electronically controlled clutch includes 1. sensing at least two brake pedal positions separated in time, 2. performing a differentiation of the sensed brake pedal positions, 3. comparing the result of the differentiation to a first predetermined threshold value, and 4. controlling the clutch to disengage if the result of the differentiation represents a faster brake pedal application than a predetermined threshold value.
