Abstract
A method for determining the triggering sensitivity of an automatic braking process in motor vehicles. By a control element the driver can control within a specific range the threshold value which is effective for triggering. The permissible range is selected so that the effective threshold value can neither be reduced to such an extent that automatic braking is triggered at actuation speeds of the brake pedal which are normal for travel mode, nor increased to such an extend that it is impossible to trigger automatic braking process.
