Abstract
A method for controlling an operation of a motor vehicle, in particular controlling a coupling process. The motor vehicle has a coupling mechanism with an actuation device, which actuation device is configured to move a gear unit element, particularly a coupling element, of the coupling mechanism between a coupling position and an uncoupling position. The speed at which the gear unit element is moved into the coupling position is set and/or changed depending on a state parameter of the coupling mechanism.
