Abstract

A method for monitoring a drive of a motor vehicle, including acceleration monitoring, including: ascertaining an actual acceleration of the motor vehicle with the aid of a signal of a kinematics sensor, in particular of an acceleration sensor or of a wheel speed sensor, ascertaining a permissible acceleration of the motor vehicle as a function of a position of a gas pedal, and ascertaining the permissibility of an operating state of the drive as a function of the ascertained actual acceleration and the ascertained permissible acceleration, the permissibility of the operating state of the drive being monitored with the aid of alternative monitoring instead of acceleration monitoring when the operating state of the drive meets at least one predetermined condition.
