The invention concerns a method for setting shift points in an automated shift transmission or an automatic transmission of a vehicle driven by a motor, whereas the shift points can be displaced towards higher engine rotational speeds by activation of a kick-down function. A method according to claim 1, characterised in that the kick-down function is activated by the driver by actuating a switch, if one or several of the following conditions are met: a gear above a predetermined gear is already engaged or being engaged; the vehicle has reached a predetermined speed after starting from standstill or during operation; the vehicle has travelled a predetermined distance after starting from standstill; a predetermined time has elapsed after starting the vehicle from standstill; the current roadway slope is greater than a predefined roadway slope; the current vehicle acceleration is greater than a predefined acceleration value of the vehicle; the current torque of the drive wheels is less than a predetermined drive torque of the drive wheels; whereas conversely the kick-down function is not activated despite the actuation of the switch and/or despite the actuation of the accelerator pedal irrespective of the position of the accelerator pedal, if not at least one of the stated conditions is met.
