Abstract

In a method of improving the control behavior of an ABS control system in corners, a special control mode or rather a corner control mode is put into operation instead of the standard control mode when a cornering situation is identified, said special control mode or corner control mode causing a reduction of the braking pressure on the front wheel and/or on the rear wheel on the inside of the curve. When, in the partial braking range, a threshold value (th) of a wheel speed difference is exceeded, which difference is the difference between the side sums formed from the speeds of the two wheels of one vehicle side there will be a braking pressure reduction on the front wheel and/or on the rear wheel on the inside of the curve until there is again a drop below the threshold value (th,th.sub.H) and, additionally, below a hysteresis band (H).
