Abstract

In a method of changing the trigger threshold of a brake stand-by function of a vehicle brake, the brake stand-by function generates brake pressure in wheel brakes without application of a brake pedal. The trigger threshold value for the brake stand-by function is determined by the following steps: The method allows reducing the number of spurious releases of the brake stand-by function, which a sportive driving style brings about.In another embodiment of the method, the position of the accelerator pedal is used to change the trigger threshold value for the brake stand-by function.
