ABSTRACT:
A method for controlling an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle in the event of a spontaneous gas/pedal release (FastOff). The automatic transmission is driven by an internal combustion engine which can be influenced by an accelerator pedal and a signal proportional to a pedal position is fed to an electronic transmission control in which shifting characteristic field is stored and the spontaneous gas/pedal release (FastOff) is detected and an upshift block (FFO=1) is activated when a pedal position gradient (PSTG) falls below a pedal gradient threshold (KF_PSTG). The mode of the upshift block (FFO=1) is removed when a traction operation is detected when an actual engine torque (MMM) exceeds a push-pull line (KL_ZS) stored as a function of a value equivalent to an engine rotational speed (NMO) in dependence on a vehicle acceleration/deceleration (AIST) dependent on an overall tractional resistance (GFW) and pedal gradient thresholds (KW_PSTGPOS, KW_PSTGNEG).
