Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for controlling a braking system for a motor vehicle, capable of implementing a parking brake function. The system includes a disk, a brake caliper and at least one piston to exert a disk clamping force on the disk, the braking system further including an electric drive unit moving the piston relative to the caliper and a hydraulic drive unit moving the piston relative to the caliper. The method includes at least one step of exerting a disk clamping force by moving the piston, by the electric drive unit and/or the hydraulic drive unit. The method includes a step of actuating the hydraulic unit by exerting a first clamping power on the piston, followed by a step of actuating the electric unit by exerting an additional clamping power, until a total power is obtained that is high enough to lock the disk.

Claim (Index 10):
A method ( 10 ) for controlling a braking system for an automobile vehicle which is able to implement a parking brake function, the braking system including in particular a disk, a brake calliper and at least one movable piston and which cooperates with the calliper to exert on the disk a disk clamping force,\n the braking system further including electric means and hydraulic means for driving the piston in order to produce a disk clamping force, the method ( 10 ) including a step ( 20 ) of actuating the electric means to exert a disk clamping force, the method ( 10 ) including a step ( 26 ) of actuating the hydraulic means which consists in exerting on the piston a clamping force, which is followed by the step ( 20 ) of actuating the electric means, said step ( 26 ) of actuating the hydraulic means being implemented at least when the disk clamping force able to be produced by the electric means is insufficient to perform disk locking wherein the method ( 10 ) includes a step ( 16 ) of determining whether the power which the electric means are able to produce is high enough to perform a disk locking which is prior to the step ( 26 ) of actuating the hydraulic means and the step ( 20 ) of actuating the electric means, and wherein the step ( 26 ) of actuating the hydraulic means is implemented before the step ( 20 ) of actuating the electric means when at the end of the determining step ( 16 ), it has been determined that the electric means are not able to exert a high enough force.
