Abstract
A method controls a vehicle brake system having a service brake and a retarder in a mutually coordinated manner. The retarder is activated during each braking operation and is controlled as a function of the driver's braking desire as well as of driving condition values, road condition values and operating conditions of the vehicle (integrated operation of the retarder).
