A profile of the vehicle speed (v) is determined as a result of the action, whereby the step of presenting (S) the vehicle's driver with suggestions for said action, is subject to consideration to subconditions. The subconditions include requirements in response to reduced power mobilization, the speed of the vehicle () relative to a reference level (v) should: drop by a predetermined largest amount before the hilltop transition; drop by a predetermined smallest amount before the hilltop transition; reach or exceed the reference level (v) after the hilltop transition.
