Patent ID: 8768591

Claim:
A method for operating a boosted brake system of a vehicle, the method comprising: checking an operating mode of the boosted brake system; determining a difference between an overall braking torque (Mg) applied by the boosted brake system to at least one wheel ( 32 ) of the vehicle and a predefined setpoint overall braking torque and/or a braking medium volume displaced into a force/pressure conversion element ( 22 ) of the boosted brake system (S 1 ); defining an operating-mode-dependent setpoint change (ΔFu) in assistance force in relation to an assistance force (Fu) provided by a brake booster ( 14 ) of the boosted brake system when the difference between the overall braking torque (Mg) applied by the boosted brake system to at least one wheel ( 32 ) of the vehicle and the predefined setpoint overall braking torque is greater than a predefined threshold and/or the difference between the braking medium volume displaced into a force/pressure conversion element ( 22 ) of the boosted brake system (S 1 ) is greater than a predefined reference volume; and outputting the setpoint change (ΔFu) in assistance force to the brake booster ( 14 ) (S 3 ); wherein the change in assistance force to the brake booster ( 14 ) averts movement of an activation element ( 10 ).
