The method involves comparison of the degree of depression of the accelerator pedal (103) with a threshold value. When the degree of depression lies above the threshold value this indicates a dynamic request or control input. The comparison process takes account of how the driver normally operates the accelerator pedal. This allows for the fact that for a mode of driving recognised as sporty a greater degree is necessary than in the case of one recognised as careful. Recognition of the different driving modes can be based on continuous recording of the depression of the accelerator pedal and a statistical evaluation in respect of the degree of depression.
