PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To quickly engage a forward clutch of an automatic transmission with a little shock without taking special cost in restarting of an engine. SOLUTION: A method for supplying oil is changed according to the oil releasing amount from an oil passage in relation to a forward clutch of an automatic transmission and the oil temperature in restarting of an engine. Concretely, the tim...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a forward clutch of a transmission to engage quickly and under small shock without extra cost when an engine is restarted. SOLUTION: Whether the execution state of quick boosting-up is adequate or not is judged when oil for engaging a clutch of a transmission is supplied during engine-restarting, and based on the judgement, the execution of the quick pressure intensi...

When a selected vehicle-to-vehicle time gap (To) is changed from a first level to a second level with a selector switch (5; 5A), a controller (11) determines a desired time gap (T*) or spatial gap so that the desired gap varies from the first level to the second level at such a gradual rate as to prevent an abrupt change in the vehicle speed. The controller (11) determines a desired vehicle spacin...
