Abstract:
1. A method for operating an active stabilizer, the method which comprises: selectively operating an active stabilizer of a motor vehicle in an on-road mode and an off-road mode; wherein in the on-road mode the stabilizer is selectively activated and deactivated in dependence of operating parameters of the motor vehicle such that, in an activated state, a rolling motion of the motor vehicle is reduced by introducing a torque into the stabilizer counteracting the rolling motion; wherein in the off-road mode up to a given travel speed the stabilizer is deactivated, while above the given travel speed an off-road control is performed in which an activation of the stabilizer is provided in given situations; and wherein in the off-road mode up to the given travel speed it is checked, whether a jouncing and rebounding of the wheels of an axle exceeds a threshold value, and if that is the case, a downward force of a rebounding one of the wheels is increased.
