Abstract:
A method for output of haptic information to a driver of a motor vehicle via a brake pedal includes ascertaining, based on signals of an environment-sensor system, imminence of a traffic situation that poses a potential risk to the motor vehicle, and modifying, during a driving of the motor vehicle, independent of a driver input, and in response to the ascertained imminence of the traffic situation, a characteristic of the brake pedal of the motor vehicle.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein a brake force that is optimal for managing the impending traffic situation is ascertained, and the pedal characteristic is modified in a manner by which a counterforce of the brake pedal is reduced when a brake force applied by the driver is less than the optimal brake force.
