Abstract

A method for operating a service brake system in a vehicle is described. The method includes the stages of determining whether the vehicle is stationary, and detecting whether the brake pressure exceeds a predetermined value in that stationary state. If the brake pressure value exceeds the predetermined value, as part of final stage, the method includes regulating the brake pressure to a predefined limiting value, where the predefined limiting value is sufficient to maintain the vehicle in that stationary state.
