  • Patent number: 9643613
    Abstract: A method is provided for operating a motor vehicle having at least one drive unit which is suitable for providing a drive torque. A drive torque prompted by the driver by way of the accelerator pedal, in the case of a rapid change of the accelerator pedal position, is filtered by way of a guidance former and/or an accelerator pedal filter or its rate of change is limited, so that a slower drive torque reduction or drive torque buildup will occur. In the case of a prompted reduction of the drive torque, simultaneously with the slowed-down drive torque reduction, a corresponding triggering of a vehicle brake system is carried out for achieving a predefined vehicle deceleration.
