Abstract
A dual-circuit braking system for motor vehicles with an anti-locking device and optionally traction control, which is equipped with at least one pressure reducer for the brake pressure in the front-axle brake cylinders. With normal braking this pressure reducer is activated and the brake pressure on the front wheels is reduced. In the case of anti-locking, the pressure reducer is deactivated. However, with a defect in the electrical system or the anti-locking device, the pressure reducer is de-activated, and braking occurs at the front and rear such that vehicle deceleration of 0.82 G blocks the front wheels before the rear wheels.
