Claim:
1. A method for operating a motor vehicle with hybrid drive said hybrid drive comprising an internal combustion engine and an electric machine with associated energy storage, which is chargeable in a charging mode when the electric machine is operated as a generator, and an electronically shiftable transmission whose gears are manually shiftable up and down by actuating a selector element, said method comprising: actuating the selector element at least once, thereby selecting a smaller gear or a different shifting mode of a transmission control device which leads to a higher rotational speed; switching the electric machine into the charging mode when after the selecting of the smaller gear or the different shifting mode an acceleration of the motor vehicle is not changed or is only changed to a predetermined degree by actuating the accelerator pedal; causing a transmission control device, which effects a shifting of the gears, to change from an automatic shifting mode to a manual shifting mode in response to the actuating of the selector element; maintaining the manual shifting mode for a predetermined period time, said predetermined period of time being at least 20 s; and in the absence of a further actuation of the selector element within the predetermined period of time causing the transmission control device to change back into the automatic shifting mode and switching the electric machine into an engine mode after expiration of the predetermined time, wherein a selector lever is actuated twice in short succession for switching the electric machine into the charging mode, wherein the actuating twice of the selector lever suppresses a shifting down by a further gear.
