Abstract
A method for operating a motor vehicle after receiving an acceleration signal in which the motor vehicle power train includes first and the second torque transmission devices connected to first and second subgears. The operational method includes selecting and engaging a predetermined target gear in one of the two subgears and selection and engagement of a predetermined intermediate target gear, in the other of the two subgears, while the power train continues to remain engaged. The intermediate target gear is so chosen that it will be higher than the target gear, so that the rpm of the gear input shaft of the target subgear, will be greater than the rpm of the gear input shaft of the intermediate target subgear, in which the current gear is engaged.
