The present invention relates to a method for a vehicle () having an electric machine (). The electric machine () is coupled to at least one wheel () of the vehicle (). The vehicle () can optionally be operated in at least a first operating mode () and a second operating mode (). In the first operating mode (), the electric machine () applies a torque to the wheel (), and in the second operating mode () the electric machine () does not apply any torque to the wheel (). In the method, a request for switching over between the first and the second operating modes () is detected and the vehicle () is operated in a transition operating mode () if the request to switch over from the first operating mode () into the second operating mode () is detected. In the transmission operating mode (), a torque is applied to the at least one wheel () counter to a rolling direction of the vehicle () for at least a predetermined time.

Method for a vehicle having an electric machine

A method for forward parking a motor vehicle in a perpendicular parking space, wherein the motor vehicle has environment sensors for detecting environment data and obstacles in the environment of the motor vehicle, including pre-aligning the motor vehicle in front of the perpendicular parking space such that a target steering angle lies between a maximum steering angle &#x3b4;and a minimum steering angle &#x3b4;, iterative searching of the admissible steering angle range between the maximum steering angle &#x3b4;and the minimum steering angle &#x3b4;for a current steering angle &#x3b4;, during a forward maneuver of the vehicle into the perpendicular parking space, wherein the current steering angle &#x3b4;ensures a maximum free path length s, i=01 . . . , n into the perpendicular parking space without the vehicle hitting obstacles, and terminating the forward maneuver if the end of the parking operation has been reached or a reversing maneuver has to be carried out owing to an obstacle.
