METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A STARTING AID OF A MOTOR VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for controlling a starting aid of a motor vehicle, in particular of a bus, having the following steps: holding of the motor vehicle by means of braking force by application of a braking pressure to a brake of the starting aid; release of the starting aid by reducing the braking pressure as a reaction to the detection of a starting operation which is initiated by the driver. The invention is characterized in that the release of the starting aid takes place as follows: reduction in the braking pressure in accordance with a predetermined first gradient; simultaneous detection of the rotational direction of an output shaft of a transmission of the motor vehicle or of another component which rotates as a function of the rotational speed of the drive wheels; upon detection of a rotational-direction signal which indicates forward travel of the motor vehicle, continuation of the reduction in the braking pressure in accordance with the predetermined first gradient and, upon detection of another signal, continuation of the reduction in the braking pressure by way of a second gradient which is reduced in comparison with the first gradient or an increase in the braking pressure.
