Summary: | A powertrain system includes an internal combustion engine, a multi-mode transmission and a driveline. A method for controlling the powertrain system in response to a command to execute an engine autostart operation during vehicle operation includes executing a clutch-driven engine autostart operation to start the engine upon determining that a present transmission output speed is greater than a minimum output speed for engine operation and upon determining that a selected clutch configured to effect a mechanical coupling between the engine and the driveline is activatable. |
