Abstract
In a method for operating a force-sensor-less electromechanical service brake of a vehicle, a current profile of a force-displacement characteristic is determined and stored during a closing of a parking brake when the vehicle is being parked. The current profile of the force-displacement characteristic is used during a subsequent trip to set a required braking force on the electromechanical service brake.
