Abstract

A method is disclosed for operating an electromechanical brake system 2 of a motor vehicle that contains two brake circuits 24 and 28 that are powered by the on-board network 20 in the normal mode and by the respective emergency power storage mechanisms 22a and 22b in the emergency mode. In the emergency mode of the brake system 2, one of the two brake circuits 24, 28 is only operated by the control unit 10 until the emergency power storage mechanism 22b assigned to this brake circuit 28 has reached a residual power value that is sufficient for locking the wheels of this brake circuit at least once while the motor vehicle is at a standstill.
