To efficiently change driving modes, the clutch is partially disengaged to a slip limit; the clutch is then completely disengaged; and when the clutch reaches the slip limit, the generator torque of the electric machine is increased inversely to the torque that can be transmitted by the clutch. | 12-17-2009 |

The method comprises the steps of engaging the clutch, from its fully disengaged condition, into a slipping condition and disengaging the starting element, starting from a fully engaged condition, into a slipping condition. Once the engine begins rotation, the clutch is maintained in the slipping condition until the rotational speeds of the engine and the motor correspond with one another. Then the clutch is completely engaged; the transmission starting element, from the slipping condition, is completely re-engaged when a difference between the drive output speed and the engine or electric motor speed reaches or exceeds a specified value. | 05-26-2011 |

If during this, the combustion engine begins turning, the break-away torque of the internal combustion engine is determined. If the combustion engine does not begin turning, the clutch is further engaged to a slipping condition starting from a second initial value, such that torque transmitted by the clutch increases linearly until the combustion engine begins turning, and the break-away torque of the internal combustion engine is determined from the clutch torque at which the combustion engine begins turning. | 06-02-2011 |
