The invention relates to a device for increasing the security of a motor vehicle
comprising an automatic transmission, which is impinged upon by an electrical transmission
control system and a detection unit for detecting a critical driving situation
and for generating a corresponding signal. In order to increases driving security,
an evaluation device is provided which checks whether the generated signal has
reached a specific value or exceeded a specific threshold. If said value has been
reached or the threshold has been exceeded, the evaluation device causes the transmission
control system to interrupt the positive engagement of the transmission.
