Abstract
A device for controlling an electric parking brake of a utility vehicle includes an electronic control unit and a manual control unit that communicates with the electronic control unit and via which driver requests depending on the type of actuation of the manual control unit can be transmitted to the electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is adapted to process signals of the manual control unit when the ignition is switched on. The manual control unit is adapted to output in at least one mode of operation a wake-up signal to the electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is adapted to process, once having received a wake-up signal, at least one additional signal of the manual control unit even if the ignition of the utility vehicle is switched off.
