Abstract:
A method for adjusting at least one of a braking effect and a driving effect at wheels of a motor vehicle, the wheels including at least two wheels and sensors that are assigned to the at least two wheels, the method comprising the steps of:causing the sensors to generate speed signals representing rotary motions of the at least two wheels; correcting the speed signals by a correction that includes at least two different operating modes; adjusting the at least one of the braking effect and the driving effect at least as a function of the corrected speed signals of the sensors; determining whether one of a mounted temporary spare wheel and a spare wheel having a smaller radius than remaining ones of the at least two wheels is present; and selecting one of the at least two different operating modes as a function of the determined presence of the one of the mounted temporary spare wheel and the spare wheel having a smaller radius than remaining ones of the at least two wheels.
