The invention relates to a control system () for a vehicle provided with an electronically controlled drive train () which comprises a steering system (), a braking system () and a transmission unit (). An operating unit () generates a motion vector (BV) based on a driver's wish (FW), from which control signals (SS) are generated by a control unit () for controlling the drive train (). In order to simplify maneuvering, more particularly reversing, a trajectory calculator () is provided, said trajectory calculator calculating the trajectory of movement for the situation and position of the vehicle () on the basis of actual values that are detected by a status and position determining device () and on the basis of set values that can be inputted by means of a target input device (). The trajectory of movement consists of a sequence of motion vectors (BV), which move the vehicle from its actual status and actual position to the set status and set position when the drive train () executes the motion vectors (BV) of the trajectory of movement. For said purpose, the trajectory calculator () is coupled to the operating unit () and additionally to the control unit () by means of a common drive train interface () for transmitting the motion vectors (BV).
