Abstract:
A device for controlling a drive unit of a motor vehicle, comprising:a control unit receiving a signal indicating whether a tendency to spin of at least one drive wheel of the vehicle has been detected, the control unit providing an output signal for reducing a torque of the drive unit if the tendency to spin has been detected, the control unit including a microcomputer, the microcomputer including a program which limits a quantity of the output signal to a minimum value; wherein the minimum value is at least one of a function of a driving situation, a function of an operating mode of an anti-spin regulator, prescribed when the vehicle is engaged in cornering, a function of a coefficient of friction of a cornering roadway, is prescribed if none of predefined driving situations arises, a function of an acceleration of the vehicle, and a function of a type of transmission.
