A method of controlling a creep mode of a motor vehicle with a drive train having a drive unit (1), a gear mechanism (2) and a friction clutch (4) arranged between the drive unit (1) and the gear mechanism (2). The creep function, for controlling the creep mode, having a first partial function for controlling the creep mode, in a case of an activated brake pedal (15), and a second partial function for controlling a creep mode, in a case of a non-activated brake pedal (15). The first partial function of the creep function is only activated once the second partial function of the creep function is activated.
