Abstract
A control device of a motor vehicle for controlling a gear change in a transmission of the motor vehicle by generating control signals for transmission shift elements utilized during a gear change. If a gear increment of the gear change to be performed is greater than two gears, and/or if the driver activates a sport gear shift program, and/or if a detection device detects a sporty type of driver, and/or if the driver actuates a kickdown of an accelerator pedal, and/or if the driver actuates the accelerator pedal with a temporal gradient that is greater than a defined limit, the control device generates control signals for the shift elements, being utilized for performing the gear change, with an interruption of driving power, and the control device, in all other instances, generates control signals for the shift elements, being utilized for performing the gear change, without interrupting the tractive force.
