First Claim
1. A method for operating a motor vehicle having a service break and a parking break and being configured with at least one of an autonomous operating mode and a partially autonomous operating mode that can be activated, the method comprising:
- detecting an operative state of the motor vehicle; and
shifting, in response to the detected operative state of the motor vehicle the parking brake from a rest state into a predetermined operative state, the parking brake being configured to, in the predetermined operative state, produce at least one of (i) no braking effect and (ii) a significantly lower braking effect compared to a full activation of the parking break.

Abstract
The method according to the disclosure for operating a motor vehicle, in which at least one autonomous or partially autonomous motor vehicle operating mode can be activated and the motor vehicle has a service brake and a parking brake, wherein in response to a detected operative condition of the motor vehicle the parking brake is shifted from an inoperative condition to a predefined operative condition, the predefined operative condition of the parking brake being determined by the fact that the parking brake produces no braking effect or a markedly lesser braking effect in comparison with the fully activated condition.
