Abstract
A method for controlling an automatic transmission of a vehicle during cornering includes controlling opening of the transmission in response to movement of a control interface, the position data of which are transmitted to a calculation unit of the transmission by a communication network of the vehicle, based on a comparison of a measured or predicted transverse acceleration value of the vehicle with a transverse acceleration threshold calibrated as a radius of curvature of encountered or identified corners and speed and longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle on the corners.
