Method for controlling a delay device of a motor vehicle

The invention relates to a method for controlling a delay arrangement (10) of a motor vehicle having at least a regenerative braking device (12) which is adapted to the motor vehicle by means of a variable brake torque to decelerate and to generate electric power corresponding to the braking torque. A withdrawal speed of a control element for driving the motor vehicle, in particular an accelerator pedal (22) is detected (S2). A predefined braking torque of the regenerative braking device (12) is applied (S5), if the withdrawal speed and / or correlating therewith size exceeds a predetermined threshold value or less.
