Abstract:
1. A method for operating a brake system of a motor vehicle, which has at least one operating mode, the method comprising: prefilling the brake system, so as to at least partially overcome a clearance of at least one wheel brake prior to an expected actuation of a brake pedal, an actuation of the brake pedal being expected at least one of (a) specific positions and (b) gradients of de-actuation of an accelerator pedal of the motor vehicle; and specifying, in an operating mode, a gradient of de-actuation of the accelerator pedal as a function of at least one of (a) dynamics and (b) limit values of the actuation of operating devices of the motor vehicle; wherein the operating mode is activated when an index, which is formed from at least one of (a) the dynamics and (b) the limit values of the actuation of the operating devices, exceeds a specified value, and wherein the index is increased by a specific value in a loop evaluation of operating parameters of the motor vehicle if a maximum braking wish is above an upper threshold.
