The invention relates to a method for safety monitoring of a drive in a motor vehicle which generats an error signal (F) in a fault condition, wherein it is determined whether a fault exists in which an unintentional slip value existing on at least one of the driving axles of the motor vehicle, and at least one error reaction parameter (y) of a control device (2) of the motor vehicle is adjusted when an unintentional slip value of at least one of the driving axles of the motor vehicle was to determine, wherein the at least one error reaction parameter (y) changes response time period (T) of the control unit (2) for outputting the error signal (F) .
