Abstract

In a method for controlling an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle having an electronic gear control (EGS) that continuously exchanges signals with a vehicle dynamics regulator (FDR), the electronic gear control (EGS) receives signals (SL) of an anti-slip control system (ASC) and/or of an anti-blocking system (ABS). In addition the vehicle dynamics regulator (FDR) is functionally linked with a dynamic stabilizer (DS) which in predefined operating situations issues a signal (SV) to the electronic gear control (EGS) via the vehicle dynamics control (FDR), which signal is processed simultaneously with the incoming signals (SL) from the anti-slip control system (ASC) and/or the anti-blocking system (ABS).
