Abstract
An adaptive control device is provided for a vehicle starting clutch. The adaptive control device includes a reverse brake as the starting clutch, and a clutch adaptive controller. The reverse brake is interposed between an engine and motor/generator, and the left and right rear wheels and is slip-engaged at a time of starting. The clutch adaptive controller performs clutch adaptive control, in which the reverse brake is subjected to a state in which a temperature of the reverse brake is at, or above, a second threshold for a timed period, at least one time before a vehicle begins to move.
