A method of controlling the operating mode of a motor vehicle MV is disclosed in which transitioning between driving and coasting modes and vice-versa are performed automatically in response to a driver trigger. The method controls an engine 100 of the motor vehicle MV to bring a driveline driven by the engine 100 via an electronically controlled clutch 105 into a lash state before engaging or disengaging the electronically controlled clutch 105 thereby preventing driveline disturbances from being produced by the transition.
