1. A method for determining a lateral acceleration of a motor vehicle, comprising the steps of:

  • detecting a load at one of a wheel and an axle of the motor vehicle by a load sensor;

    supplying a signal corresponding to the load sensor to a control device;

    supplying a signal corresponding to at least one sensor to the control device, the at least one sensor including at least one of a wheel sensor and a speed sensor; and

    calculating a lateral acceleration and center-of-gravity height of the motor vehicle from at least the signals corresponding to the load sensor and the wheel sensor by the control device as a function of a driving condition of the motor vehicle in accordance with a predefined algorithm.
