METHOD AND CONTROL UNIT FOR OPERATION OF A MOTOR VEHICLE WITH AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE AFTER A COLD START

A method for operating a motor vehicle with an internal combustion engine, which comprises a combustion engine and an exhaust gas tract with at least one exhaust gas aftertreatment device, wherein following a cold start of the internal combustion engine, in which the exhaust gas aftertreatment device has a temperature that lies below an ignition temperature, operation of the combustion engine by means of an engine control is limited as a function of a temperature of the exhaust gas aftertreatment device with respect to the torque (M) that can be delivered by the combustion engine, wherein driving operation of the motor vehicle is prevented until a minimum threshold value (M) of the deliverable torque (M) is reached, is characterized in that the minimum threshold value (M) is varied as a function of a driving resistance of the motor vehicle to be overcome.
