摘要

The method involves monitoring an accelerator position (1) for starting a motor vehicle. An empty gas switch is monitored for the determination of a starting intention if no valid signal is present over the accelerator position. The empty gas switch is monitored such that a start up clutch is closed if the starting intention is derived from the empty gas switch position.
