Provided is a method for controlling a waste heat recovery system associated with a powertrain of a vehicle, the powertrain comprising a combustion engine and a gearbox connected to the combustion engine, the waste heat recovery system comprising a working fluid circuit; an evaporator; an expander; a condenser; a reservoir for a working fluid and a pump arranged to pump the working fluid through the circuit, wherein the evaporator is arranged for heat exchange between the working fluid and at least one heat source, wherein the waste heat recovery system further comprises a cooling circuit arranged in connection to the condenser, and wherein the expander is mechanically connected to the powertrain. The method comprises the steps of: predicting a downhill slope which will require braking of the vehicle; reducing the temperature of the evaporator to a predetermined temperature; and turning off the pump and thus the waste heat recovery system.
