Abstract
A process and apparatus for starting an internal-combustion engine of a vehicle is provided, having a starting device for starting the internal-combustion engine in which the rotational starting speed can be controlled or automatically controlled. For minimizing starting energy, shortening the starting time, increasing the starting safety and reducing the emissions during the start, the rotational speed generated by the starting device is adjusted to a defined maximal rotational starting speed.
