Abstract
A method of stabilizing a motor vehicle, preferably to prevent a vehicle from rolling over about a vehicle axis oriented in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. To do so, a quantity describing the transverse dynamics of the vehicle is determined. This quantity is compared with at least one characteristic value, in particular a threshold value, for this quantity. For the case when the quantity describing the transverse dynamics of the vehicle is greater than or equal to the characteristic value, a speed of the vehicle is reduced to or maintained at a preselectable speed value at least by braking measures on at least one wheel and/or by engine measures and/or by retarder measures (SR).
