Abstract:
1. A device for influencing the operating mode of at least one vehicle stabilizing device of a plurality of vehicle stabilizing devices which operate according to different strategies, which actuate, independently of the driver, at least brake actuators which are assigned to the vehicle wheels, in order to stabilize the vehicle, and which are arranged in the vehicle, wherein the vehicle has a front axle and a rear axle and is a two-axle vehicle with all wheel drive in which both the front axle and the rear axle are each effectively assigned a switchable differential lock, wherein a further switchable differential lock is arranged effectively between the front axle and the rear axle, wherein the differential locks assume, in addition to the non-switched operating state, a first operating state which is different from the non-switched operating state and in which the differential locks are preselected, and a second operating state which is different from the non-switched operating state and the first operating state and in which the differential locks are switched, wherein some of the vehicle stabilizing devices are influenced in terms of their operating mode when the further switchable differential lock arranged effectively between the front axle and the rear axle assumes the first operating state, wherein all the vehicle stabilizing devices are influenced in terms of their operating mode when the further switchable differential lock assumes the second operating state, and wherein the operating mode of the vehicle stabilizing devices is influenced in each case in such a way that actuation of the brake actuators which are assigned to the vehicle wheels by the respective vehicle stabilizing device independently of the driver does not occur.
