1. A method for providing a processed signal relating to a position of a driver operated vehicle control member for a motor vehicle, the method comprising:

  • obtaining a signal originating from a sensor which senses a position of the vehicle control member;

    filtering the signal originating from the sensor using a first filter, to obtain a first filtered signal;

    comparing, using a computing device, an instantaneous value of the first filtered signal with a first threshold parameter value representing a predetermined position of the control member;

    providing as the processed signal the first filtered signal having a second signal added thereto when the comparing step indicates that the instantaneous value of the first filtered signal is greater than the first threshold parameter; and

    providing the signal originating from the sensor as the processed signal when the first filtered signal is not greater than the first threshold parameter, wherein said driver operated vehicle control member is a manual clutch pedal of the vehicle.
