Abstract
A method operates a motor vehicle such as an off-road vehicle with a brake system in which wheels on the same axle can be braked independently of one another. Vehicle-movement-stabilizing braking interventions are performed automatically by the brake system. For at least one vehicle-movement dynamics characteristic variable which is indicative of the tendency of the vehicle to tilt about the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, an associated tilting-prevention threshold value is prescribed. The respective characteristic-variable instantaneous value is continuously acquired and compared with the tilting-prevention threshold value. The wheels which are on the outside during cornering are, for the purpose of preventing tilting, braked as soon as an associated characteristic-variable instantaneous value exceeds the associated tilting-prevention threshold value.
