Abstract: A method for setting a drive stage in a vehicle transmission may include an input step and an output step. A first input signal, representing a first axial wiping movement over a first input region, is input in the input step. A second input signal, representing a second axial wiping movement over a second input region, parallel to the first axial wiping movement, is also input. The first wiping movement and the second wiping movement are at least partially simultaneous. A shifting signal for setting a selected drive stage is output in the output step, based on the first input signal and the second input signal. A first path of the first axial wiping movement and a second path of the second axial wiping movement determine the selected drive stage.
