Claim:
1. A method for operating a motor vehicle including a roll stabilizer supported for rotation on a vehicle body with two stabilizer parts that are rotatable relative to each other by an angle of torsion via a rotary drive arranged between said two stabilizer parts, the method comprising: collecting data by at least one sensor; receiving, by a control unit, a parameter equivalent to an applied torque (M) of the rotary drive, wherein the parameter equivalent to an applied torque (M) is determined based on the data; determining, by the control unit, a ratio of the angle of torsion (Φ) to the parameter equivalent to an applied torque (M) of the rotary drive; comparing, by the control unit, the ratio to a specified tolerance range; and detecting, by the control unit, an overload state if the ratio is outside of the specified tolerance range.
