Abstract

Disclosed is a method for controlling a brake system (1) of a motor vehicle having an electric-regenerative brake, in particular a generator (4), and a number of hydraulic friction brakes (2) driven by at least one brake pressure generating means by way of a braking medium (B). The brake system is controlled so that the total deceleration of the brake system is composed of deceleration components of the friction brakes (2) and the electric-regenerative brake, thus achieving maximum brake comfort. The braking medium (B) is discharged into a pressure accumulator (12) when braking with an electric-regenerative brake.
