Claim Text:
1. An automated method for adjusting a drive-off torque while driving off in a vehicle from a stopped state, comprising: limiting, by an electronic stability control system of the vehicle, a rate of rise of an effectively acting actual drive torque in the vehicle to a maximum rate of rise, wherein the maximum rate of rise of the actual drive torque depends on a road incline, the maximum rate of rise being decreased with an increasing of the road incline; wherein a torque curve rises from zero to a maximum value that corresponds to an input by a driver input, wherein until a first drive level, located below the maximum value, is reached, the driver input is implemented without restriction, and wherein the first drive torque level corresponds to a drive torque which is necessary to hold the vehicle on the road incline on which the vehicle is located.
