Abstract

A method for blocking and releasing gear ratios in a vehicle equipped with an automatic gear box. The process includes combined functions F1, F2, F3 in which F1 is a function for blocking a passage of a transmission ratio during a first time delay, F2 is a function for blocking passage of a ratio in response to an instability of a fuel throttle opening angle, and F3 is a function for blocking passage of a ratio in response to a deceleration of the vehicle.
