Semi-automatic gearbox system including improved control means for when the vehicle is stationary
First Claim
1. A control system for a semi-automatic gearbox installed in a vehicle, including means suitable for detecting when the vehicle is stationary by detecting when an engine speed, an inlet speed and an outlet speed of the gearbox are below minimum thresholds for a predefined time T, and causing first gear to be engaged automatically when said system detects that the vehicle is stationary, with the engine running, and with a gear ratio other than neutral or than reverse.
