Abstract

To monitor and control the pressure in the auxiliary pressure supply system of a hydraulic motor vehicle brake system, a circuit arrangement is employed which is provided with a door-contact switch (24) which closes when the driver's door of the motor car is opened and which at a pressure in the auxiliary pressure supply system (11-16) below the telltale threshold activates the hydraulic pump (11) irrespective of the activation of the ignition. Moreover, a holding circuit (25, 26, 30, D30) is provided through which, after closure of the driver's door, the hydraulic pump (11) continues to operate until the telltale pressure threshold or responding threshold is reached or exceeded.
