ABSTRACT:
A method and a device for controlling the brake system of a vehicle, wherein a stand-by phase is made available. The stand-by phase is initiated as soon as the input pressure exceeds a threshold value S1and the rate of change of input pressure exceeds a third threshold value SB. The third threshold value SB is smaller than a second threshold value S2, which when exceeded immediately changes the braking operation into a full braking support operation. When the third threshold value SB is exceeded or when the stand-by phase is entered, the brake support system is activated or becomes ready to use, however, a full braking support operation is not triggered yet. During the stand-by phase, the braking behavior of the driver is continually monitored.
