Abstract
A method and a device for influencing the handling characteristics of a vehicle, by increasing the vehicle stability and hence increasing the driving comfort for the driver of the vehicle. This is done by activating at least two systems in the vehicle, which improve the handling characteristics and thus the vehicle stability. The activation of a system occurs in a specified sequence as a function of the activation and/or of the effect of the preceding systems on the handling characteristics achieved by the activation. The sequence provided for this purpose is the initial activation of a chassis system, followed by a steering system and finally by a brake system.

11. A method for coordinately activating at least two systems of a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
-
influencing handling characteristics of the motor vehicle and following an activation sequence of at least one of a chassis control system, a steering system and a braking system; and
activating a subsequent system in the sequence so as to occur, in at least some of the activations of the systems, as a function of at least one of the activation and an effect on the handling characteristics achieved by the activation of a preceding system in the sequence. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A device for coordinately activating at least two systems of a motor vehicle, comprising:
an influencing arrangement to influence handling characteristics of the motor vehicle and follow an activation sequence of at least one of a chassis control system, a steering system, and a braking system, wherein the activation of a subsequent system in the sequence occurs, in at least some of the activations of the systems, as a function of at least one of the activation and an effect on the handling characteristics achieved by the activation of a preceding system in the sequence. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
