    摘要: The invention provides a method of controlling a vehicle presenting a plurality of wheels (2), an engine (1) and a clutch (3) for selectively connecting the engine (1) to a number of the wheels (2), the method comprising receiving (SI) a torque control signal indicative of a demanded output torque of the engine (1), and observing (S3) a value of a first vehicle operation parameter being the vehicle speed or a parameter which is indicative of the vehicle speed, - characterised in controlling (S5) the clutch (3) so as to be engaged if the received torque control signal indicates that the demanded engine torque is minimal or below a first threshold value (S2) and the observed first vehicle operation parameter value is above a second threshold value (S4), - subsequently to the step of controlling (S5) the clutch (3) so as to be engaged, performing (S7) a test disengagement of the clutch (3), comprising at least partly disengaging the clutch (3), observing (S8) a behaviour, in response to the test disengagement, of a second vehicle operation parameter, and - based at least partly on the observation (S8) of the behaviour of the second vehicle operation parameter, determining (S9, S 11) whether to control the clutch (3) so as to be re-engaged or disengaged.
