Abstract:
1. A method for operating a brake system of a vehicle, the brake system having at least one braking device assigned to a wheel of the vehicle, which is provided for applying a braking force to the wheel and to which brake fluid from a main brake cylinder is able to be supplied, and having a delivery device connected to the braking device via a cross-section adjusting member and an intermediate reservoir, the method comprising: discharging brake fluid from the braking device via the cross-section adjusting member, in at least one of a controlled and regulated manner, into the intermediate reservoir and delivering the brake fluid to the main brake cylinder using the delivery device, the discharging of the brake fluid from the braking device of the brake system taking place, at least at times, at a discharge volume flow that is greater than a maximum delivery volume flow of the delivery device; and reducing the discharge volume flow when a certain operating state of the brake system occurs, wherein the cross-section adjusting member equalizes the pressure discharged from the at least one braking device using at least one valve.
