Abstract: A method is provided for controlling an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle, in which the engine speed is limited after a cold start and a normal shift point is used for shifting to the next higher gear of the automatic transmission in the case of an average operating temperature of an engine, before the average operating temperature is reached, a cold shift point being used for shifting to the next higher gear of the automatic transmission, in the case of which upshifting is performed at a lower vehicle velocity than in the case of the normal shift point. Upshifting into the next higher gear of the automatic transmission can be made easier, since upshifting can already be performed at lower vehicle velocities and therefore lower engine speeds in the cold start phase.

Abstract: A method is provided for the control of an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle at least during downhill driving of the motor vehicle in coasting mode. The method includes, but is not limited to setting of a desired speed vset of the motor vehicle for a cruise control system of the motor vehicle, determining of a nominal acceleration aset of the motor vehicle and a current acceleration aactual of the motor vehicle and comparing of the nominal acceleration aset with the current acceleration aset takes place. In addition, activating of a downhill driving mode of a control device of the automatic transmission if anactual is ?(aset+?a) and determining of a first position of an accelerator pedal of the motor vehicle takes place. In addition, determining of a first current speed vactual-1 of the motor vehicle and comparing of the first current speed vactual-1 with the desired speed vset takes place.

Abstract: A method is provided for coupling an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle, in which torque generated by an engine and applied to an input shaft is relayed by means of a torque converter and/or by means of a bridging coupling for bridging the torque converter to an output shaft. After the initiation of a bridging procedure, the torque is reduced, after which the bridging coupling is closed. This method enables an improved efficiency when coupling the automatic transmission.

Abstract: The invention concerns a process for controlling a CVT in a motor vehicle. In order to avoid an uncomfortable excitation of a transmission ratio change of the CVT when the driving speed is constant it is proposed that in the case of small accelerator pedal changes (<a) and in the case of changes in driving speed (S) occurring within a calibrated range (S1<S<S2) the transmission ratio of the CVT be held constant.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the adaptive correction of the shifting quality of an automatic transmission which is coupled to an engine and in which correcting elements acting on the pressure or oil throughput bring friction elements into engagement in the form of clutches or brake bands to carry out shifting processes, the line pressure impinged on by the correcting elements being registered by means of an electronic device and corrected as a function of various operating parameters.
