  • Method for operating a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 8463479

At least one measure which influences the drag torque is carried out if the following conditions are all satisfied: (i) an actuation speed is less than a limiting value, (ii) a position of the input element is greater than zero, and (iii) the power input element is actuated in the direction of a power reduction.
