  • Method for operating a brake system in a stationary vehicle
    Patent number: 9663074
    Abstract: In the case of a method for operating a brake system in a vehicle, preferably a service brake system, in particular in a motor vehicle, it is first established whether the vehicle is stationary. If it is established that the vehicle is stationary, it is thereafter detected that the actuating member is actuated by the driver in order to leave the vehicle in the stationary condition. If it is established that the actuating member is actuated while the vehicle is stationary, a signal is generated at least to initiate the temporary under-supply of service brake medium to the operating members.
