Abstract
The invention relates to a method for carrying out an automatic braking process for motor vehicles with an anti-lock brake system. An automatic braking process is triggered when it is detected by the anti-lock brake system that at least one wheel of an axle of the vehicle reaches the locking limit. The brake pressure for the axle of this wheel starts to be controlled by the anti-lock brake system. However, a further increase in brake pressure at the wheels of the other axles of the vehicle is possible since, because of the load distribution of the vehicle and because of the distribution of braking force, the locking limit of the said wheels is not yet reached. According to the invention, a further increase in the brake pressure at the other axles takes place during the automatic braking process.
