Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to a method for controlling retarder operation of a motor vehicle (100, 110), comprising the steps of: - continuously detecting temperatures (T) of the retarder's fluid (graph a); - continuously determining a change in the detected temperature; and - automatically disconnecting the operation of the retarder when said detected temperature exceeds a predetermined temperature. Said predetermined temperature (graph b) is determined continuously on the basis of the magnitude of the change per unit time. The invention relates also to a computer programme product comprising programme code for a computer for implementing a method according to the invention. The invention relates also to a device and a motor vehicle equipped with the device.
