Patent ID: 7092809

Claim:
Method for controlling braking equipment with a function for the driveaway assistance of a motor vehicle having the following steps: selecting an initial operating state of the braking equipment in which a function for the driveaway assistance of the motor vehicle is selectively switched on or off, detecting a characteristic control parameter capable of being influenced by a vehicle driver, subsequently controlling the braking equipment in reaction to the detection of the control parameter, in order, by switching on or off the function for the driveaway assistance of the motor vehicle, to produce an operating state of the braking equipment differing from the initial operating state, wherein if the selection was that the function for the driveaway assistance of the motor vehicle is switched off in the initial operating state of the braking equipment, this function is switched on, and if the selection was that the function for the driveaway assistance of the motor vehicle is switched on in the initial operating state of the braking equipment, this function is switched off, and wherein subsequently a production of the operating state of the braking equipment differing from the initial operating state takes place only in reaction to the detection of an operating state of the motor vehicle in which the motor vehicle is stationary or nearly stationary.
