Abstract
A method for the controlled power activation of an electromechanical braking system in a motor vehicle where the maximum power available is less than the nominal capacity includes the step of activating brake force-generating units of the braking system individually or in subgroups in succession to one another. The brake force-generating units are in each case activated with a power level corresponding to a portion of the maximum power available. The portion of the maximum power available is sufficient for the individual unit to function at least partially.
