Process and device for actuating a braking system during the starting of a motor vehicle
First Claim
1. A process for starting a motor vehicle having a braking system that utilizes brake actuation energy at least partially supplied by at least one brake energy storage device, the process comprising:
- automatically transferring the motor vehicle into a non-drivable state;
checking a charging state of the at least one brake energy storage device; and
transferring the vehicle into a drivable state if a measured charging state of the at least one brake energy storage device is greater than or equal to a predetermined minimum charging state.

Abstract
A process and device for starting a motor vehicle having a braking system in which a brake force is at least partially supplied by at least brake energy storage devices. Prior to starting a motor vehicle, the vehicle is initially switched into a non-drivable state in which the vehicle is disabled from movement. A charging state of each brake energy storage device may be checked to ensure an adequate charging state. If the charging state of at least one of the brake energy storage devices is greater than or equal to a predetermined minimum charging state, the vehicle may be switched into a drivable state and, thus, operable by the driver.

6. A vehicle having a brake system comprising:
-
at least one brake energy storage device adapted to provide at least partial braking energy to the brake system; a testing device to check a charging state of the at least one brake energy storage device; a switching device to automatically switch the vehicle into a non-drivable state; and a control device to compare a charging state of the at least one brake energy storage device with a stored predetermined minimum charging state and to actuate a switch over of the switching device to a drivable state when the measured charging state of the at least one brake energy storage devices is greater than or equal to the predetermined minimum charging state. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 23)
