Method for Holding a Two-Track Motor Vehicle

A method for holding a two-track motor vehicle is provided, wherein the motor vehicle has at least one electric drive machine and wherein each of four wheels of the motor vehicle can be held via a service brake. In an initial situation when the motor vehicle is at a standstill, the motor vehicle is held by virtue of a motor torque of the electric drive machine being applied to at least two wheels of the motor vehicle. In a manner dependent on a situation and/or gradient, the motor torque that holds the at least two wheels of the motor vehicle is reduced at one wheel. After the motor torque at the one wheel is reduced, the service brake at the wheel is activated. After the service brake at the one wheel is activated, the motor torque at a further wheel of the vehicle is reduced. After the motor torque at the further wheel of the vehicle is reduced, the service brake at the further wheel is activated.
