Abstract
A method for starting an engine of a vehicle ensures that a stationary vehicle cannot unintentionally begin to move during the starting operation. In the event of a starting command, a check is made as to whether the vehicle is stationary. If the vehicle is stationary, at least one vehicle brake is activated. After activation of the vehicle brake, starting of the engine is authorized.
