VERFAHREN ZUM UNTERSTÜTZEN EINES BREMSENSYSTEMS BEI VERMINDERTER WIRKSAMKEIT DER FAHRZEUGBREMSANLAGE

摘要

Disclosed is a method for increasing a braking effect in a motor vehicle with a hydraulic brake system. An energy supply unit, which is used to increase the brake pressure in at least one wheel brake, is switched on when the brake pressure adjusted by the driver in a master brake cylinder exceeds an activation threshold, which is determined depending on a detected vehicle deceleration. A check is made whether an unbraked trailer is coupled to the vehicle, and in that the activation threshold PAT is raised, if the presence of an unbraked trailer that is coupled to the vehicle is detected.
