METHOD TO CONTROL A ROAD VEHICLE WITH A MICROSLIP OF THE CLUTCH

A method to control a road vehicle (1) provided with a clutch (16), which connects an internal combustion engine (4) to drive wheels (3) and is arranged upstream of a servo-assisted transmission (7); the control method comprises the steps of: checking whether the tyres of the drive wheels (3) are close to a grip limit; and opening the clutch (16) so that the clutch (16) transmits a torque to the drive wheels (3) with a slip of the clutch (16) that is constant and other than zero when the tyres of the drive wheels (3) are close to the grip limit.
