The activation state of the PTO is changed by engaging or disengaging a clutch of the PTO. The method comprising, when the power source is connected to drive wheels of the vehicle, and the activation state of the PTO is to be changed, controlling the clutch to control a rate of change of torque transferred between the power source and the auxiliary load during the change of the activation state of the PTO based on at least one current operating condition of the vehicle.
