Method in a Motor Vehicle Having at Least One Drive Engine

摘要

In a motor vehicle having at least one drive engine, the vehicle is made ready for travel, at least as concerns the starting of the drive engine and preferably also the establishment of a frictional connection between the drive engine and driven wheels, by way of a combination operating element which is actuated manually by the driver, without relying on a manually actuated operating element provided for at least the first starting of the drive engine upon the operational start of the vehicle. The vehicle is made ready for travel when at least one manually generated command to select a gear is given by the driver via actuation of the combination operating element.
