Abstract

A method for operating a motor vehicle driven by an internal combustion engine, and having a drive train for receiving mechanical power of the engine and imparting motion to the motor vehicle via at least one set of wheels of the motor vehicle, can include a system for engaging and disengaging at least a part of the drive train. This system for engaging and disengaging can be utilized for preventing the motor vehicle from being driven under its own power.
