  • Slope driving mode for vehicles with automatic transmission
    Publication number: 20050256624
    Abstract: Within the framework of the method for recognizing a downhill descent and for operating the transmission of a motor vehicle in a downhill descent mode during a downhill descent for a motor vehicle that has a continuously variable transmission (CVT), an automatic transmission or an automated manual shift transmission a downhill descent is recognized if in coasting operation there is an increase in speed, whereby in the downhill descent mode, a downhill descent signal indicating a downhill descent is formed in coasting operation and is used by the driving strategy unit for calculating a target gear ratio for the transmission control unit.
