Abstract

A device for controlling the driving stability of a vehicle includes a detection device for detecting an operating condition of the vehicle, a device for building up braking pressure for at least one of the wheels, and an influencing device which influences the braking pressure of one or more wheels in dependence on the detected operating condition of the vehicle. The above device also comprises a starting device which activates the device for building up braking pressure in idle mode before the commencement of an operating condition which initiates influencing of the braking pressure.
