1. A method for parameter-related driver input gauging in motor vehicles, comprising the steps of:

  • in order to determine the driver input, determining the position of a moveable control element, which can be moved from a rest position into a maximum displacement,determining a theoretical maximum value of at least one parameter relevant for the drive system of the motor vehicle is determined and an maximum actually recallable value of this parameter is determined,if the determined position is below a threshold, assigning said parameter according to a first function in which the maximum displacement corresponds to the theoretical maximum value, andif the determined position is greater or equal the threshold, assigning said parameter according to a second function in which the maximum displacement of the moveable control element corresponds to the maximum actually recallable value.
