Abstract
A method for meshing a starting pinion of a starter device with a toothed ring of an internal combustion engine includes aligning rotational speed of the starting pinion with the rotational speed of the toothed ring before meshing takes place. As meshing occurs, a vibration characteristic is measured. If a vibration characteristic variable is not within an admissible value range, activation of the starting pinion is varied during a subsequent meshing process.
