Abstract:
1. A control unit of a motor vehicle for activating a form-locking shift element of a transmission of the motor vehicle such that a defined rotational speed difference, between an input-side component and an output-side component of the form-locking shift element, is established in order to close the form-locking shift element, the control unit monitors a rotational speed gradient of the rotational speed of the output-side component of the form-locking shift element from an activation time of the form-locking shift element at which an engaging process of the form-locking shift element begins, and the control unit generating a control signal for a drive assembly to increase torque at a drive assembly when the control unit determines that the monitored rotational speed gradient falls below a lower limit.
