Abstract

A motor vehicle (2) has a transmission (6) with an automated clutch (8) with a control device (20), a gas pedal, a brake pedal and an actuating element (28, 30, 32) which is released for activating an inching procedure. In the method for determining a defined inching procedure, time is measured by the actuating element (28, 30, 32) after the inching procedure has been activated and, after a reference value has been exceeded, the inching procedure starts at a predeterminable speed as long as neither the brake pedal nor the gas pedal has been activated.
