Clutch Module (Manual Transmission Only)

Clutch engagement/disengagement is recognized by a signal from the clutch module. During the clutch engagement/disengagement process, the engine speed is maintained at an optimal speed range by the DME. After the clutch has been reengaged, the DME will adjust back to the current torque request from the cruise control.

If the engine speed is too low or too high, the driver will be requested to change gear. This request is issued in the form of an acoustic signal and a Check-Control message.
