The invention relates to a method for setting the braking torque of a hydrodynamic retarder in a vehicle, especially a truck, with the following steps: activation of the hydrodynamic retarder and generation of a predetermined braking torque upon detecting an activation command for the hydrodynamic retarder, wherein the duration until the predetermined braking torque is provided by the retarder and/or the level of the braking torque of the retarder is variably adjustable over the time progression until reaching the predetermined braking torque. The invention is characterized in that the longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle will be detected or calculated, and the duration until the predetermined braking torque is provided by the retarder and/or the level of the braking torque of the retarder over the time progression until reaching the predetermined braking torque is set depending on the longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle. |
