An apparatus and method for controlling an automatic transmission having a controller that changes temporarily from the automatic operating mode, selected normally with a position D of a gear selection switch, to a driver-influenced operating mode if a second rocker switch, which is arranged on the steering wheel, is activated. The automatic operating mode is not discontinued permanently, because after a set time has elapsed, the automatic operating mode becomes active again. Each time the rocker switch is activated, the time starts running anew. Returning to the automatic operating mode is only possible if the current transverse acceleration is below a preset limiting value, and traction operation is in effect at the same time. To create an apparatus and a method of this kind for controlling an automatic transmission, which is further improved in terms of its driveability, the remaining time before returning to the automatic operating mode is set to a minimum value, after the manual operating mode has briefly been called up, as soon as one of the referenced conditions, which causes a return to the automatic operating mode to be suppressed, is no longer in effect. |
