Abstract
A method for controlling a brake system in a vehicle includes providing a first non-friction braking torque for an axle of the vehicle when the vehicle has a first load. A second non-friction braking torque lower than the first non-friction braking torque is provided for the axle when the vehicle has a second load lower than the first load. Non-friction braking at the axle is limited by the first and second non-friction braking torques when the vehicle has the first and second loads, respectively.
