Control signals

CONTROL SIGNALS

Engagement and disengagement of the clutch, hence engine-power transmission, are controlled by the current applied to the electromagnetic clutch coil.

Several signals are transmitted to the control unit. These determine control strategies for various vehicle operating modes; starting, stopping, ratio changing.

The clutch also prevents shudders or jerks, which may occur when it is directly engaged or disengaged or when the engine is used to provide braking in the "L" position.
