Pressure control system for a vehicle, the pressure control system comprising a throttle arrangement and a pneumatic load, the pressure control system comprising as a pneumatic load a multi-stage compressor having a first compression stage for providing a precompressed pressure medium and an at least second compression stage for providing a compressed pressure medium, at least one pressure medium chamber (3.i; i=1...4) connected to the first or the at least second compression stage (5, 6) and a pressure medium supply connected to the first or the second compression stage (5, 6) being provided for storing the compressed pressure medium, and a charging line being provided which connects the pressure medium supply and/or the at least one pressure medium chamber (3.i) to the first or the second compression stage (5, 6), for conveying a pressure medium stored in the pressure medium supply or a chamber pressure medium used in the pressure medium chambers (3.i) as charging pressure medium into the first or the at least second compression stage (5, 6) of the multi-stage compressor, the throttle arrangement being arranged in the charging line in order to limit a charging volumetric flow of the charging pressure medium to the limit volumetric flow, characterized in that the throttle arrangement has at least one throttle valve (31, 27.i), the at least one throttle valve (31, 27.i) specifying an arrangement cross section of the throttle arrangement, the arrangement cross section indicating which flow resistance acts on a pressure medium entering the throttle arrangement, and it being possible to control the at least one throttle valve (27.i) on the basis of an inlet pressure (pV), it being possible, by controlling the at least one controllable throttle valve (27.i), to adjust the arrangement cross section of the throttle arrangement in such a way that an input volumetric flow of the pressure medium entering the throttle arrangement can be limited in an inlet-pressure dependent (pV) manner to a limit volumetric flow in order to adjust, in an inlet-pressure dependent (pV) manner, a power consumption of the pneumatic load attached to the throttle arrangement in the pressure control system, the throttle arrangement having a parallel circuit of at least two throttle valves (31, 27.i), each of which is assigned a throttle valve cross section (DQ.j), it being possible to switch at least one of the at least two throttle valves (31, 27.i) in the parallel circuit on the basis of the input pressure (pV) in a pneumatically or electrically controlled manner to a closed position, in order to adjust the arrangement cross section in an input-pressure dependent (pV) manner, the arrangement cross section resulting from a sum of those throttle valve cross sections (DQ.j) to which an opened throttle valve (31, 27.i) of the parallel circuit is assigned. at least one pressure medium chamber (3.i; i=1...4) connected to the first or the at least second compression stage (5, 6) and a pressure medium supply connected to the first or the second compression stage (5, 6) being provided for storing the compressed pressure medium, and a charging line being provided which connects the pressure medium supply and/or the at least one pressure medium chamber (3.i) to the first or the second compression stage (5, 6), for conveying a pressure medium stored in the pressure medium supply or a chamber pressure medium used in the pressure medium chambers (3.i) as charging pressure medium into the first or the at least second compression stage (5, 6) of the multi-stage compressor, the throttle arrangement being arranged in the charging line in order to limit a charging volumetric flow of the charging pressure medium to the limit volumetric flow, characterized in that the throttle arrangement has at least one throttle valve (31, 27.i), the at least one throttle valve (31, 27.i) specifying an arrangement cross section of the throttle arrangement, the arrangement cross section indicating which flow resistance acts on a pressure medium entering the throttle arrangement, and it being possible to control the at least one throttle valve (27.i) on the basis of an inlet pressure (pV), it being possible, by controlling the at least one controllable throttle valve (27.i), to adjust the arrangement cross section of the throttle arrangement in such a way that an input volumetric flow of the pressure medium entering the throttle arrangement can be limited in an inlet-pressure dependent (pV) manner to a limit volumetric flow in order to adjust, in an inlet-pressure dependent (pV) manner, a power consumption of the pneumatic load attached to the throttle arrangement in the pressure control system, the throttle arrangement having a parallel circuit of at least two throttle valves (31, 27.i), each of which is assigned a throttle valve cross section (DQ.j), it being possible to switch at least one of the at least two throttle valves (31, 27.i) in the parallel circuit on the basis of the input pressure (pV) in a pneumatically or electrically controlled manner to a closed position, in order to adjust the arrangement cross section in an input-pressure dependent (pV) manner, the arrangement cross section resulting from a sum of those throttle valve cross sections (DQ.j) to which an opened throttle valve (31, 27.i) of the parallel circuit is assigned.
