A method for operating a vehicle, wherein the vehicle comprises: - a driveline (2, 4) configured to provide a driving power to at least one wheel of the vehicle for propulsion of the vehicle; - a wheel brake system configured to brake the vehicle; - a control circuit; and - an accelerator device wherein the method comprises the steps of: - receiving a control signal indicative of a request for acceleration of the vehicle, wherein the acceleration control signal is generated by the accelerator device, such as an accelerator pedal, configured to be acted upon by a driver of the vehicle; and - controlling the driveline (2, 4) in response to the acceleration control signal, characterized in that the method comprises the steps of: - providing an acceleration threshold limit representing the highest vehicle acceleration that can be allowed for the received acceleration control signal in the current circumstances; - determining a resulting vehicle acceleration that is or will be the result from the step of controlling the driveline in response to the acceleration control signal; - comparing the resulting vehicle acceleration with the corresponding acceleration threshold limit and determining whether the resulting vehicle acceleration is or will be higher than the acceleration threshold limit; and when the resulting vehicle acceleration is or will be higher than the acceleration threshold limit; - applying the wheel brake system so as to reduce an actual vehicle acceleration towards the corresponding acceleration threshold limit. wherein the vehicle comprises: - a driveline (2, 4) configured to provide a driving power to at least one wheel of the vehicle for propulsion of the vehicle; - a wheel brake system configured to brake the vehicle; - a control circuit; and - an accelerator device wherein the method comprises the steps of: - receiving a control signal indicative of a request for acceleration of the vehicle, wherein the acceleration control signal is generated by the accelerator device, such as an accelerator pedal, configured to be acted upon by a driver of the vehicle; and - controlling the driveline (2, 4) in response to the acceleration control signal, - a driveline (2, 4) configured to provide a driving power to at least one wheel of the vehicle for propulsion of the vehicle; - a wheel brake system configured to brake the vehicle; - a control circuit; and - an accelerator device - receiving a control signal indicative of a request for acceleration of the vehicle, wherein the acceleration control signal is generated by the accelerator device, such as an accelerator pedal, configured to be acted upon by a driver of the vehicle; and - controlling the driveline (2, 4) in response to the acceleration control signal, characterized in that the method comprises the steps of: - providing an acceleration threshold limit representing the highest vehicle acceleration that can be allowed for the received acceleration control signal in the current circumstances; - determining a resulting vehicle acceleration that is or will be the result from the step of controlling the driveline in response to the acceleration control signal; - comparing the resulting vehicle acceleration with the corresponding acceleration threshold limit and determining whether the resulting vehicle acceleration is or will be higher than the acceleration threshold limit; and when the resulting vehicle acceleration is or will be higher than the acceleration threshold limit; - applying the wheel brake system so as to reduce an actual vehicle acceleration towards the corresponding acceleration threshold limit. - providing an acceleration threshold limit representing the highest vehicle acceleration that can be allowed for the received acceleration control signal in the current circumstances; - determining a resulting vehicle acceleration that is or will be the result from the step of controlling the driveline in response to the acceleration control signal; - comparing the resulting vehicle acceleration with the corresponding acceleration threshold limit and determining whether the resulting vehicle acceleration is or will be higher than the acceleration threshold limit; and - applying the wheel brake system so as to reduce an actual vehicle acceleration towards the corresponding acceleration threshold limit.
