Abstract: A method for operating a shock-absorber system with shock-absorber devices, in particular switching shock-absorber devices, wherein discretely selectable shock-absorber characteristic curves are provided. The method determines a driving behavior of the driver and/or of the motor vehicle on the basis of one or more driving state data items and/or one or more operating variables and, in automatic mode, automatically sets a shock-absorbing behavior of the shock-absorber system by selecting one of the selectable shock-absorber characteristic curves of the shock-absorber devices as a function of the determined driving behavior.

Abstract: In a method and a device for slope and/or pitch recognition in a vehicle (1, 1?, 1?) at least one speed and a transverse and/or longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle are determined and a slope or pitch situation is assumed, when the speed is smaller than the limit value vGlmax and the transverse acceleration is greater than a limit value aqmax and/or the longitudinal acceleration is greater than a limit value almax. On recognition of a slope or pitch situation, a ride control system can be automatically deactivated and/or control thresholds of the ride control system are expanded.
