A method for operating a motor vehicle, the motor vehicle including a prime mover (), a transmission (), and a driven end (), wherein the transmission () is an automatic or automated transmission and is connected between the prime mover () and the driven end (). The method includes activating a sailing mode of the motor vehicle depending on at least one operating condition of the motor vehicle; performing a gear select interlock in the transmission (), while maintaining the sailing mode, when the sailing mode is active; and deactivating the sailing mode is subsequently depending on at least one operating condition of the motor vehicle. The gear select interlock is implemented in the transmission () depending on a rotational speed of the prime mover () and depending on synchronous speeds of the gears of the transmission ().
