Abstract

See full text

A method for operating a drive device for a motor vehicle, which has an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. A drive shaft of the internal combustion engine can be coupled to a motor shaft of the electric motor by a shift clutch. The shift clutch is adjusted to a desired clutch torque over a dragging period for startup of the internal combustion engine. Prior to the startup, a quantity of heat that is expected to accrue in the shift clutch during the startup is predicted and, when the predicted quantity of heat exceeds a limit value, at least one operating parameter of the drive device that influences the startup is chosen in such a way that the quantity of heat expected to accrue is reduced.
