Description

For example, the electronic device 14 may be designed to decrease at least one characteristic value of the characteristic curve if, after braking brought about by at least one controlled vehicle reduction device 12, at least a second input quantity y input set by the driver during the first time interval after braking exceeds a predetermined maximum value. In this case, the driver's strong acceleration of the vehicle at a second input quantity y input exceeding the predetermined maximum value is interpreted by the electronic device 14 as an indication that the vehicle was braked too strongly for the driver of that vehicle. Correspondingly, the electronic device 14 may be designed to increase at least one characteristic value of the characteristic curve if, after braking brought about by at least one controlled vehicle reduction device 12, at least a second input quantity y input set by the driver during the first time interval after braking remains below a predetermined minimum value. The fact that, after braking, the driver only accelerates with a second input amount y input below a predetermined minimum value often indicates that the driver felt the braking applied was barely sufficient and therefore hesitated to accelerate the vehicle again. For example, method step S2 includes a partial step S2a performed after braking brought about by at least one controlled vehicle deceleration device. Partial step S2a may be performed to decrease at least one characteristic value of the characteristic curve if at least a second input amount set by the driver during a first time interval after braking is brought about exceeds a predetermined maximum value. Similarly, partial step S2a may be performed to increase at least one characteristic value of the characteristic curve if at least a second input amount set by the driver during a first time interval after braking is brought about remains below a predetermined minimum value.
