Abstract: A method for preventing the rupture of a compressor wheel and/or turbine wheel of an exhaust-gas turbocharger of a motor vehicle includes establishing loading limit values (n(G)) for the compressor wheel and/or the turbine wheel in bench tests. The method further includes determining loading variables (n) for the compressor wheel and/or turbine wheel during the operation of the exhaust-gas turbocharger in the motor vehicle. In addition, the method includes processing the determined loading variables (n) in order to establish a loading characteristic value (n(i)) which represents real exhaust-gas turbocharger operation. Further, the method includes comparing the loading limit value (n(G)) with the loading characteristic value (n(i)). The method also includes outputting a warning (W) if the comparison of the loading limit value (n(G)) with the loading characteristic value (n(i)) yields an exceedance of a predefinable safety margin.
