Abstract
A system for controlling a vehicle, the system comprises an electronic control unit having a processor circuit that is constructed and arranged, to detect whether the vehicle rolls, detect to which direction the vehicle rolls, detect the gear position of the vehicle. The gear position of the vehicle and the direction are compared to one another to determine that the vehicle rolls to an incorrect direction depending on the detected gear position and depending on the detected direction. The vehicle is brought to a standstill upon determining that the vehicle rolls to an incorrect direction.

A method for controlling a vehicle comprising:
- detecting whether the vehicle rolls,
- detecting to which direction the vehicle rolls,
- detecting the gear position of the vehicle,
- comparing the gear position of the vehicle and the direction,
- determining that the vehicle rolls to an incorrect direction depending on the detected gear position and depending on the detected direction, and
- upon determining that the vehicle rolls to an incorrect direction, bringing the vehicle to standstill.
