Abstract
A drive control system for a motor vehicle able to be operated by an electric motor and having a drive stage selector, an electronic accelerator pedal, a brake pedal, and an electronic control unit that is configured such that a creep function is deactivated when a first alternative automatic drive stage is selected, and that a creep function is activated when a second alternative automatic drive stage is selected. The control unit furthermore contains an appropriately programmed function module by way of which, when the creep function is activated and based on creep pilot control, the creep moment predefined thereby, in the form of a drive moment, is reduced based on a braking request from the driver, wherein a frictional braking moment is activated by the conventional wheel brake system only when the minimum possible creep moment is reached.
