Abstract

The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for controlling the drive power of a motor vehicle equipped with a chargeable spark-ignition engine. In this method and arrangement, the engine power is adjusted via the air input and the charging pressure independently of each other as a function of the accelerator pedal deflection. In one range of the accelerator pedal deflection, the engine power is adjusted by adjusting an engine power actuator in dependence upon the accelerator pedal deflection and/or, in another range, the charging pressure is adjusted in dependence upon the accelerator pedal deflection.
