Abstract
A method for control of an automatically controlled clutch when setting a vehicle in motion on a running surface: the vehicle includes a combustion engine for generating driving force transmitted to at least one powered wheel, and a throttle control for demanding driving force from the engine. The magnitude of the driving force demanded from the engine is controlled by a driver of the vehicle by means of the throttle control. The method includes a step, when a first criterion representing the grip of the powered wheels on the running surface is fulfilled, of opening the automatically controlled clutch if the driver uses the throttle control to reduce the demand for driving force from the engine.
