METHOD FOR ACTUATING A CLUTCH AND CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A MANUAL CHANGE-SPEED TRANSMISSION
First Claim
1. A method for actuating a clutch for coupling a manual change-speed transmission of a motor vehicle, wherein the clutch can be actuated with the help of a clutch pedal, comprising:
- sensing at least one of a rotational speed of a motor of the motor vehicle that is couplable to the change-speed transmission via the clutch and a travelling speed of the motor vehicle; and
actuating the clutch independently of a position of the clutch pedal, when at least one of the sensed rotational speed undershoots a predefined limit rotational speed and the sensed travelling speed undershoots a predefined limit travelling speed.

Abstract
A method for actuating a clutch for coupling a manual change-speed transmission of a motor vehicle, in which the clutch can be actuated with the help of a clutch pedal, is provided. The method includes sensing a rotational speed of a motor of the motor vehicle that can be coupled to the change-speed transmission via the clutch and/or sensing a travelling speed of the motor vehicle and actuating the clutch independently of a position of the clutch pedal when the sensed rotational speed undershoots a predefined limit rotational speed and/or the sensed travelling speed undershoots a predefined limit travelling speed.
