Abstract
A device and method for terminating an automatic braking process in a motor vehicle ensures that the automatic braking process is reliably switched off. The relative movement between the pressure rod of the brake system and a component which can be moved with respect thereto within a defined movement play is detected by two control switches, namely a make contact and a break contact which are actuated via a common switching cam. A switching process of the control switches takes place whenever the brake pedal is moved in the direction of its rest position. If a switching process which corresponds to this relative movement takes place during an automatic braking process, the braking process is terminated.
