Claim Text:
1. A method of determining a load of a motor vehicle, the method which comprises: detecting at least one given physical measured variable which is dependent on the load of the motor vehicle, the physical measured variable representing a parameter selected from the group of parameters consisting of a pressure of a wheel, a ratio of pressures of two or more wheels, a wheel contact area length of one or more wheels, an engine torque, a driving resistance and a driving torque of the motor vehicle, and generating a measured value that represents the at least one measured physical variable; evaluating generated measured values in order to determine the load and thereby correlating with one another measured values or load values determined therefrom that represent at least two different parameters from the group of parameters, in order to generate from the correlation a correction value and using the correction value to determine an actual load value representing the load of the motor vehicle.
