Abstract

In a method for setting a limiting value of a vehicle state variable in a driver assistance system, in particular in an electronic stability program ESP, accelerations are measured by the airbag sensor system, and are used in the event of an accident of low to medium severity to determine limiting values of the yaw acceleration and the yaw rate. These limiting values are used for monitoring the functionality of the yaw rate sensor.
