Abstract
A device for operating a motor vehicle includes a drive unit configured to drive the motor vehicle in order to make available adjustable starting assistance. A sensing unit is configured to sense a brake pressure of a brake arrangement of the motor vehicle, where the brake pressure is adjustable using a brake pedal. A control unit is configured to set a degree of starting assistance that is made available when the brake pressure, which is sensed during a stationary state of the motor vehicle, exceeds a predefined threshold value.
