Method for operating motor car i.e. hybrid car, involves activating sailing mode during active speed and/or longitudinal control when driver-side and/or vehicle-side are defined at permissible speed range for sailing mode

摘要

The method involves opening gear internal- or external gear shift elements (4) or a starting element to decouple shift elements to provide a sailing mode of an internal combustion engine (1) from an output (2) during driving a motor car with active speed and/or distance control with respect to the running internal combustion engine coupled to the output in presence of a defined operating condition. The sailing mode is activated during active speed and/or longitudinal control when a driver-side and/or a vehicle-side are defined at a permissible speed range for sailing mode. An independent claim is also included for a control device for a motor car.
