Abstract: A method of detecting and enabling an evasive maneuver in a vehicle with an automated transmission, in which initially the method checks whether the reverse (R) drive is engaged, and checks whether the steering-wheel angle and the steering-wheel angular velocity are valid and in excess of threshold values. If so, a first timer is started and then the method checks to see if the yaw rate and the transverse acceleration of the vehicle exceed threshold values while the first timer is running, and when the yaw rate and the transverse acceleration of the vehicle exceed threshold values while the first timer is running, a driver's wish to carry out an escape turn is recognized and a second timer is started, and both timers have not yet run their course, the speed threshold for permitting engagement of the forward drive (D) is increased to exceed the normal threshold value for permitting engagement of forward drive (D) is a is a set is positioned.
