A method of controlling a traction of a vehicle, comprising the steps of reading a value determining a throttle opening and closing speed from a first throttle control map from which said throttle opening and closing speed are determined on the basis of a difference in speed between a driving and non-driving wheel speeds and of an acceleration of the driving wheel, and converting said value to an actual throttle opening and closing speed with a conversion rate corresponding to an acceleration of the non-driving wheel thereby controlling the throttle of the vehicle.

A device for holding the braking force of a motor vehicle has a braking force holding valve in a brake operating fluid circuit. The device ascertains whether a load is imposed on an engine of the motor vehicle based on detected signals indicating the amount of depression of an accelerator pedal and the rotational speed of the engine. When there is a load acting on the engine, the braking force holding device is opened to release a braking force.
