Abstract
The invention concerns a process for the operation of a vehicle unit comprising a motor vehicle to which a trailer is coupled, wherein the motor vehicle is equipped with electronic systems for controlling and/or regulating the operating conditions of the vehicle unit. To improve the maneuverability of such a vehicle unit, it is proposed that the operating conditions attained by the vehicle unit and/or desired by the driver are automatically controlled and/or regulated through the cooperation of the electronic braking system (EBS) and/or the electronic engine output control system and/or the electronic drive-train control (ASS) and/or the electronic steering system (ELS).
