1. A method for improving the driving stability of a motor vehicle comprising:
- enabling a driver to predefine, via a human/machine interface, information about a maximum coefficient of friction;
determining an expected coefficient of friction on the basis of route information and instantaneous position data of the motor vehicle;
comparing the expected coefficient of friction with the maximum coefficient of friction predetermined by the driver;
predicting whether a critical driving situation is to be expected on the basis of a result of the comparison of the expected coefficient of friction with the maximum coefficient of friction predetermined by the driver; and
triggering a driver-independent braking intervention if the critical driving situation is to be expected.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for improving the driving stability of a motor vehicle in which driver-independent braking interventions are triggered if a critical driving situation is to be expected on the basis of route information and instantaneous position data of the motor vehicle, and to a corresponding system. According to the invention, the driver predefines, via a human/machine interface, information about the maximum coefficient of friction to be utilized, which is used as the basis for the prediction of a critical driving situation.
