An elevator includes a control system for monitoring the load of a car, which control system is adapted to prevent the normal starting of the elevator, optionally also including relevelling, when there is an overload in the car. The elevator includes at least one position measuring device, speed measuring device and/or movement measuring device in order to determine the movement and/or position of the car, and the control system of the elevator is adapted to remove the prevention of normal starting when at least one said position measuring device, speed measuring device and/or movement measuring device detects that the car moved or is moving upwards in the elevator shaft. In the method, the control system of the elevator is used to determine the load situation of the car, including both the steps to prevent the normal starting of the elevator, optionally also including relevelling, when there is an overload in the car and to open some of the machinery brakes and to keep the remaining machinery brakes closed in order to determine the load situation.
