International ClassB60K 041/20Foreign Application Priority Data1992-07-14 DEAbstractA process is disclosed for electronically controlling an automatic transmission in which the torque transmission is reduced when the engine throttle setting and vehicle speed are below a threshold. The transmitted torque causes the vehicle to creep slightly, warning the driver that a gear is engaged. The slant and load of the vehicle are taken into account for controlling the drive torque. | |
