Abstract

In a method for operating a starter of a vehicle, a position of a starter pinion is detected, and an advance of the starter pinion is regulated as a function of the detected position. For example, the advance during the meshing of the starter pinion with a starter ring gear of a drive motor of the vehicle is regulated.
