Abstract
A method performed by a control arrangement for controlling a vehicle during a downhill start, the vehicle comprising an electric machine configured to propel and/or brake the vehicle and a brake system configured to apply a brake force to the vehicle. The method comprises, following a detection of a downhill start indication, when the vehicle is maintained stationary on an inclined road section by means of a brake force applied by a brake system, controlling the electric machine to apply a brake torque while controlling the brake system to release the applied brake force, and controlling the electric machine to gradually decrease the applied brake torque to control the acceleration of the vehicle when set in motion in a downhill direction on the inclined road section. Hereby, the downhill start is performed in a controlled, safe, and predictable way resulting in an increased comfort and drivability of the vehicle.
