Abstract:
1. A method for operating a brake device, wherein the brake device comprises a service brake and a mechanical parking brake, wherein the parking brake can be actuated by a mechanical actuating element, comprising at least the steps of: establishing that the actuating element has been moved from an idle position into a position of use, simultaneously controlling a pressure-generating element, wherein the pressure-generating element causes an increase in a hydraulic pressure acting on a common brake element of the service and parking brakes, wherein the amount of increase of hydraulic pressure applied depends on a static or dynamic state, increasing the amount of hydraulic pressure acting on the common brake element based on an actuation level of the actuating element in a dynamic state, applying a maximum amount of hydraulic pressure to the common brake element at any actuation level of the actuating element in a static state, and blocking the common brake element of the service brake and the parking brake with a mechanical block of the mechanical parking brake.
