Abstract

In a method for stabilising a motor vehicle which is decelerated into a rest position and in a corresponding motor vehicle brake system which is provided with a service brake and a parking brake which can be actuated independently of the driver, when activation of the parking brake is initiated, the service brake changes from a first braking-force distribution of a service brake mode to a mode simulating a second braking-force distribution of the parking brake, and a switch-back to the first braking-force distribution of the service brake mode is enabled at least during the transition.
