A method for controlling a drive train of a motor vehicle comprising a drive engine, an automated transmission, and an automated clutch arranged in the force flow between the drive engine and the transmission. In order to achieve low component wear, a comfortable coasting operation mode and a spontaneous transition into the traction mode, it is provided that additional coast downshifts are prevented as soon as the driving speed (vF) of the motor vehicle has reached or dropped below a previously defined threshold speed (vGr) for coast downshifts (vF
