  • Patent number: 10647323
    Abstract: A method of controlling a creep mode of a motor vehicle with a drive train having a drive unit (1), a gear mechanism (2) and a friction clutch (4) arranged between the drive unit (1) and the gear mechanism (2). The creep function, for controlling the creep mode, having a first partial function for controlling the creep mode, in a case of an activated brake pedal (15), and a second partial function for controlling a creep mode, in a case of a non-activated brake pedal (15). The first partial function of the creep function is only activated once the second partial function of the creep function is activated.

  • Publication number: 20190061762
    Abstract: A method for controlling a creep mode of a motor vehicle with a drive train having a drive unit (1), a transmission (2) and a friction clutch (4) which is disposed between the drive unit (1) and the transmission (2). A creep function for controlling the creep mode may be activated if the drive unit (1) is operating, if a suitable gear is selected in transmission (2) and if an accelerator pedal (14) is not depressed. The creep function is activated at a depressed brake pedal (15) if a current brake pedal position or a current brake pressure respectively reaches or is less than a predetermined motion-resistance-dependent threshold value of the brake pedal position or the brake pressure, respectively.
