Abstract: A method for controlling the braking system of a motor vehicle in which, in order to prevent the vehicle from rolling away after a stopping action, a first braking force value is established at at least one wheel of the vehicle, independently of the driver, and is held for a predefined limited holding time; a transverse variable characterizing a transverse motion of the vehicle is ascertained; and as a function of the transverse variable, a release of the braking force is accomplished even before the predefined holding time has elapsed.

Abstract: A method for securing a stationary vehicle against unintended rolling, in which the braking pressure occurring in a braking operation is automatically locked in at a plurality of wheel brakes in order to keep the vehicle at standstill, and in which a sliding test is implemented in addition in order to detect sliding of the vehicle. The running time of a pump for reducing the braking pressure at the wheel brake of a test wheel may be shortened considerably if the generation of braking pressure at the wheel brake of the remaining wheel is restricted or completely prevented since less or no brake fluid has to be pumped out in this case.

Abstract: A method and device for determining the offset value of a longitudinal acceleration sensor, a first inclination variable representing the road surface inclination being determined from the output signal of the longitudinal acceleration sensor when the vehicle is standing still with the brake applied; a second inclination variable representing the road surface inclination and the vehicle acceleration being determined from the output signal of the longitudinal acceleration sensor after the brake is released following the vehicle standstill and the offset value of the longitudinal acceleration sensor being determined as a function of both inclination variables.
