Abstract
A control system for a vehicle has a detection device for generating signals which describe the operating and vehicle state. The latter signals are supplied to a regulating and control unit which generates actuating signals for switching on and off a vehicle component that influences a brake servo device for automatically producing braking force if the accelerator pedal is not actuated by the driver. This “acceleration—automatic braking” mode is triggered if the brake pedal has been actuated in a prescribed manner within a defined period of time.
