Abstract
A control method for a vehicle with a DCT may include: a sensing step in which a controller senses a currently engaged gear of the vehicle, an inclination of a road, and a vehicle speed; a comparing step in which the controller compares a temperature of an odd-numbered clutch of the transmission with a set temperature when the currently engaged gear is a first gear, the inclination of the road is within a set range, and the vehicle speed is a set vehicle speed or less, after the sensing step; and an adjusting step in which the controller adjusts a shifting pattern to shift into a second gear when the temperature of the odd-numbered clutch is the set temperature or more, as the result of the comparing step.
