Abstract
The invention relates to a method of adjusting the transmission ratio of a continuously variable gear. The position of a current operating point (B_akt) in a predetermined driving range is constantly adjusted in accordance with the driving situation. The position of the operating point is also determined by range boundaries (UG, OG) which can be varied in accordance with the driving resistance and the driver's manner of driving. The method is characterized in that it simplifies development and application.
