Claim:
1. A method for operating a hydraulic brake system of a motor vehicle, comprising: activating a pressure generating device used to build up additional brake pressure in a master brake cylinder or in addition to a master brake cylinder responsive to a predetermined minimum residual actuating travel distance of a brake pedal not being available, wherein the brake pedal of the motor vehicle is actuated in order to generate brake pressure in the master brake cylinder responsive to a prevailing deceleration of the motor vehicle, the pressure generating device controlled in such a manner that a counter force that acts on the brake pedal in an opposite direction to a direction of actuation continuously increases as the brake pedal is further actuated, wherein the residual actuating travel distance of the brake pedal is determined based on a no-load position of the brake pedal.
