Method and arrangement for controlling or regulating total auxiliary brake torque in a motor vehicle. The device includes at least one first auxiliary brake ( 4 ) of a first type and at least one second auxiliary brake ( 4, 6 ) of a second type that is different from the first type. The second auxiliary brake ( 4, 6 ) can take the form of a retarder ( 4, 6 ). A control system ( 10, 17 ) is provided for controlling or regulating the auxiliary brake. Information is stored in the control system regarding characteristics of the respective auxiliary brake ( 4, 6 ) and at least one predefined limit value for maximally permitted auxiliary brake torque. The control system ( 10, 17 ) is designed such that, if the limit value is exceeded or if a request is made for the brake force from the auxiliary brakes ( 4, 6 ) to be moderated, then this is done by turning down or moderating, in the first place, the brake torque of the retarder ( 6 ). |
