Abstract
A method and an apparatus for controlling the brake system of a vehicle consisting of at least two component vehicles is described, where the brake system of the second component vehicle is controlled from the first component vehicle. The first time the brake pedal is actuated or the first time the brake pedal is released after the braking force has been built up, actuation pulses for the brake system of the second component vehicle are formed, which are derived from the application point of the brakes of the second component vehicle.
