Method for controlling a vehicle deceleration depending on a differential slip between two vehicle axles (HA, VA) in a vehicle with an ABS brake system, with at least the following steps: Detecting a target vehicle deceleration (z Soll) specified by the driver and/or detecting an actual vehicle deceleration (z Ist) (St1, St4), and controlling a braking pressure (p HA, p VA) on wheel brakes (5, 6, 7, 8) of a vehicle axle to be controlled (HA, VA) by the actuation of ABS brake valves (11, 12, 13, 14, 21, 22, 23, 24) in such a way that the braking pressure (p HA, p VA) on the wheel brakes (5, 6, 7, 8) of the vehicle axle to be controlled (HA, VA) is controlled depending on a detected actual differential slip (DS Ist) (St6.2), so that the actual differential slip (DS Ist) corresponds to a target differential slip (DS Soll), wherein the actual differential slip (DS Ist) indicates the difference in a rotational behavior of the vehicle axle to be controlled (HA, VA) from a further vehicle axle (VA, HA), and wherein the target differential slip (DS Soll) is dependent on the detected actual vehicle deceleration (z Ist) and/or the detected target vehicle deceleration (z Soll), wherein the braking pressure (p HA, p VA) on the wheel brakes (5, 6, 7, 8) of the vehicle axle to be controlled (HA, VA) is limited if the vehicle axle to be controlled (HA, VA) is over braked relative to the further vehicle axle (VA, HA) (St101.1), characterized in that the target differential slip (DS Soll) is reduced when increasing the actual vehicle deceleration (z Ist) and/or increasing the target vehicle deceleration (z Soll) towards synchronous wheel rotational behavior of the wheels (1, 2, 3, 4) of the vehicle axle to be controlled (HA, VA) and the wheels (3, 4, 1, 2) of the further vehicle axle (VA, HA), so that the braking pressure (p HA, p VA) on the vehicle axle to be controlled (VA, HA) is already limited for a lower relative over braking of the vehicle axle to be controlled (HA, VA). Detecting a target vehicle deceleration (z Soll) specified by the driver and/or detecting an actual vehicle deceleration (z Ist) (St1, St4), and controlling a braking pressure (p HA, p VA) on wheel brakes (5, 6, 7, 8) of a vehicle axle to be controlled (HA, VA) by the actuation of ABS brake valves (11, 12, 13, 14, 21, 22, 23, 24) in such a way that the braking pressure (p HA, p VA) on the wheel brakes (5, 6, 7, 8) of the vehicle axle to be controlled (HA, VA) is controlled depending on a detected actual differential slip (DS Ist) (St6.2), so that the actual differential slip (DS Ist) corresponds to a target differential slip (DS Soll), wherein the actual differential slip (DS Ist) indicates the difference in a rotational behavior of the vehicle axle to be controlled (HA, VA) from a further vehicle axle (VA, HA), and wherein the target differential slip (DS Soll) is dependent on the detected actual vehicle deceleration (z Ist) and/or the detected target vehicle deceleration (z Soll), wherein the braking pressure (p HA, p VA) on the wheel brakes (5, 6, 7, 8) of the vehicle axle to be controlled (HA, VA) is limited if the vehicle axle to be controlled (HA, VA) is over braked relative to the further vehicle axle (VA, HA) (St101.1), characterized in that the target differential slip (DS Soll) is reduced when increasing the actual vehicle deceleration (z Ist) and/or increasing the target vehicle deceleration (z Soll) towards synchronous wheel rotational behavior of the wheels (1, 2, 3, 4) of the vehicle axle to be controlled (HA, VA) and the wheels (3, 4, 1, 2) of the further vehicle axle (VA, HA), so that the braking pressure (p HA, p VA) on the vehicle axle to be controlled (VA, HA) is already limited for a lower relative over braking of the vehicle axle to be controlled (HA, VA).
