Abstract
The invention relates to a restarting method for automatically starting an internal combustion engine () of a motor vehicle () by means of a brake pedal actuation, comprising the following steps: detecting a brake pressure (p) by means of a brake pressure sensor (); emitting a corresponding brake pressure signal sequence to a control device (); determining a brake pressure profile (p) from the brake pressure signal sequence; determining a reference pressure value (p) from the brake pressure profile; detecting a brake release status, wherein, with the release of a brake pedal, a brake pressure decrease (Δp) is detected based on the determined reference pressure value (p), with said decrease exceeding a pressure decrease limit value (Δp); emitting a starting signal (S) to a starter () for starting the internal combustion engine (), if the brake release status has been detected. The invention also relates to a restarting assembly for a motor vehicle () for carrying out a method of this type.
