Abstract
Method and device for controlling the braking action of at least one wheel brake of a four-wheel-drive motor vehicle having at least one rear axle and one front axle. A first rpm signal representing the speeds of rotation of the front-axle wheels and a second rpm signal representing the speeds of rotation of the rear-axle wheels are detected. The difference between the first and second rpm signals is then determined, and braking action is controlled as a function of the difference that has been determined.
