Abstract
In a method for operating a motor vehicle having an automatic transmission in the time of a selection action for a driving-mode range, first a driver's requirement for a change in the driving-mode range is transferred to a selection device, a change signal is then generated by the selection device, the change signal is subsequently transferred to a control unit, and, finally, a change in the driving-mode range of the automatic transmission is brought about by the control unit according to the change signal. In the time of the selection action for the driving-mode range, at least one braking device is actuated in an automated manner by the or a control unit. Drive-train oscillations may be reduced or avoided by the method.
