Abstract
In a method for setting torque in the operation of a motor vehicle, especially in the case of a small engine torque change in the lower to medium load range, the driver-selected torque is magnified dynamically in time, and the enhancement component is then correspondingly reduced down to an enhancement component of zero as the actual value of the torque approaches the driver-selected torque. An increase in responsiveness and a better response behavior are achieved in response to small accelerator pedal movements.
