Abstract
The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for controlling an output quantity of a drive unit of a vehicle for at least one operating state of the vehicle which makes possible to optimally consider the power requests of motor-specific or vehicle-specific components without affecting the driving comfort. A desired value for the output quantity is adjusted to a target value in dependence upon at least a request of a motor-specific component or a vehicle-specific component (1, 5). This target value is furthermore adjusted in dependence upon that a driver command, which is pregiven at an operator-controlled element (10), has reached this target value in the first operating state or in a second operating state different from the first operating state. The desired value for the output quantity is likewise increased up to reaching the target value with an increase of the driver command pregiven at the operator-controlled element (10).
