Abstract
A method and a device is described for controlling a vehicle. The method and device maintain a braking force of at least one wheel independent of a degree of actuation of a brake pedal at least when the vehicle is detected to be at a standstill. When a reduction condition exists, the braking force is reduced whereas, in response to a detected skidding of the vehicle, the braking force is reduced independently of the reduction condition. The method and device also provide measures for detection of a skidding of the vehicle and a danger of skidding.
