Abstract

A method for controlling a brake system for automotive vehicles including a vehicle speed control unit permitting the adjustment of a predetermined vehicle speed by way of an automatic intervention into brake control, wherein upon a braking request of the vehicle speed control unit and, simultaneously, a braking request of the driver the function of the vehicle speed control unit is deactivated, wherein the pressure (Px) introduced into the wheel brake due to the braking request of the vehicle speed control unit is reduced according to a predetermined function upon the braking request of the driver, wherein preferably a resulting brake pressure (Pres) is adjusted in the wheel brake of the vehicle which is determined by the formulaPres=PF+PX[1]−(PF*PX[1])/constant Z.
