Method and device for selecting a driving program in motor vehicles having an automatic transmission, in which at least two different driving programs, in particular an economy mode and a sport mode, can be selected by the driver. The driving program selection according to the invention is made here by briefly tipping the selector lever laterally and releasing it again. For this purpose, the selector lever is pressed briefly to the side counter to a spring force, i.e. transversely with respect to the direction of movement within the shifting gate alley, suitable means, such as position sensors or force sensors, respectively generating corresponding signals both when the selector lever is tipped and when it is released again, and said signals are analyzed in a control unit such as the transmission controller or a central vehicle electronic system in terms of their time interval, and as a result trigger a driving program changeover by means of the control unit. The respectively active driving program can be displayed here, for example, by means of a display on the dashboard. Since the driving program changeover is carried out only by tipping the selector lever laterally, the driver does not need to look at any operator control or operator control position in this context and is thus not distracted in any way from driving and observing the traffic situation. |
