Abstract
The invention relates to a process for detecting tuning measures through which the actual output power of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle is increased relative to design output power value, whereby, to detect the tuning measures, deviations of actual output power value from a nominal output power value are evaluated, the latter being provided by a control device. The invention is distinguished in that measures are initiated to protect a clutch device from overload as soon as torque to be transmitted by the clutch device exceeds a critical value.
