The method involves making a determination (1a, 1b) to check whether a value of a driving dynamic state variable exceeds a given range of values during executing operating modes (B1, B2). A value of an operational parameter is computed (2a, 2b) for the modes, where the parameter is a fuel consumption value, a brake wear value or a stress value. One of the modes is selected (3) based on results of the checking and computing steps. Signals (S1, S2) are produced (4) for indicating a driver of a vehicle to adjust the selected mode or to trigger automatic alteration of the modes. The operating modes are checked as engine states or clutch states, and the driving dynamic state variable is selected from a group consisting of velocity, speed change, lateral acceleration, lateral acceleration change, a greed rate or greed rate change. An independent claim is also included for a control device.
