Abstract

A method for controlling at least one actuator of a chassis of a motor vehicle, which travels over a subsurface is disclosed, wherein a height profile of the subsurface is detected, wherein it is analyzed for a section of the subsurface whether the height profile along said section has a value which deviates from a threshold value by a specified tolerance value, and wherein a regulating variable for activating the actuator is adjusted in consideration of the identified unevenness when the motor vehicle travels over the identified unevenness.
