Operating method for a motor vehicle comprising in particular an electronically controlled parking brake system
First Claim
1. An operating method for a brake system of a motor vehicle comprising electro-mechanical actuators comprising an automated brake release function, the method comprising:
- operating the brake system of the motor vehicle based on an initial software configuration permanently stored in read-only memory when the vehicle is produced,automatically configuring the motor vehicle brake system by temporarily storing a subsequent software configuration in read-write memory during operation of the motor vehicle, by an electronic unit (EPB-ESC-EPB-ESC-ECU), in an automated manner, based on at least one signal from at least one of an inclination sensor, a wheel rotation sensor, and a coupling sensor connected to the electronic unit (EPB-ESC-EPB-ESC-ECU), and based on stored parameters, such that brake is operated based on the subsequent software configuration after the automatic configuration,transmitting at least one electronic release command to the electro-mechanical actuators in order to release the brake,wherein the electronic unit (EPB-ESC-ECU) is networked to other electronic units, sensors and data-bus systems, in order to exchange the signals and data, andwherein the routine for providing software, configuring the motor vehicle brake system is embodied in a multi-level manner.

Abstract
An operating method for a motor vehicle including an electronically controlled motor vehicle brake system, having an automated brake release function. A start-up request is determined electronically in an automated manner and subsequently at least one electronic command is transmitted to a parking brake actuating mechanism in order to release the brake, and the electronic unit EPB−ESC−ECU is networked with communication partners, for example, electronic units, sensors and/or data-bus systems in order to exchange signals and/or data with these communication partners, and including an electronic routine for providing software, configuring and/or calibrating the motor vehicle brake system. For improved operation, in a more flexible configuration routine, the routine for providing software, configuring and/or calibrating the motor vehicle brake system is embodied in a multi-level manner, and subsequent to the vehicle being produced the motor vehicle brake system includes at least self-learning properties in terms of an automated configuration routine.
