Abstract

A brake system of a motor vehicle can activate a brake when an activation condition exists. The braking effect is reduced when a deactivation condition exists. It is suggested that at least one property of the reduction of the braking effect, e.g., the duration or the gradient of the reduction, be at least temporarily a function of a longitudinal inclination of the motor vehicle.
