Abstract
A method for operating a motor vehicle. The motor vehicle has a drive unit which is designed in such a way that, in case of acceleration, the motor vehicle is accelerated using a continuous torque output. The drive unit is operable in a first and second operating mode. In the first operating mode the motor vehicle is accelerated without interruption by the continuous torque output, and in the second operating mode the continuous torque output is changed over to a stepped torque output, so that in the second operating mode the motor vehicle is accelerated subject to interruption by the stepped torque output.
Claims17
A method for operating a motor vehicle, wherein the motor vehicle has a drive unit configured to operate in both a first operating mode and a second operating mode, the method comprising:
- presenting, to a driver, a list of predefined sounds, wherein the driver selects a type of acoustic sound from the list of predefined sounds as a selected sound;
- in the first operating mode, accelerating the motor vehicle without interruption by a continuous torque output;
- and
- in the second operating mode, changing the continuous torque output over to a stepped torque output, so that acceleration of the motor vehicle is subject to interruption by the stepped torque output and the selected sound is emitted during the interruption.
