The invention relates to a method for operating a hydraulic braking system for motor vehicles, comprising a service brake system and a parking brake device, with the service :Drake system including a pedal-operable hydraulic pressure generator, to which two brake circuits with at least one externally controllable hydraulic pressure source are connected, and a hydraulically operable front-axle wheel brake provided with inlet and outlet valves and a hydraulically operable rear-axle wheel brake provided with inlet and outlet valves are associated with each one brake circuit, and with the parking brake device including means for arresting the brake pistons of the rear-axle wheel brakes, the brake pistons being acted upon by hydraulic pressure supplied by the pressure source for the purpose of activation or deactivation of the parking brake device. In order to render the working time of the externally controllable hydraulic pressure source shorter during deactivation of the parking brake device, according to the invention, the hydraulic pressure is used at least partly to apply the front axle wheel brakes after deactivation of the parking brake device.
Method for operating a hydraulic braking system for motor vehicles, comprising a service brake system and a parking brake device, with the service brake system including a pedal-operable hydraulic pressure generator (10), to which two brake circuits (I, II) with at least one externally controllable hydraulic pressure source (4, 40) are connected, and a hydraulically operable front-axle wheel brake (2) provided with inlet and outlet valves (13, 14) and a hydraulically operable rear-axle wheel brake (3) provided with inlet and outlet valves (17, 18) are associated with each one brake circuit (I, II), and with the parking brake device including means for arresting the brake pistons of the rear-axle wheel brakes (3), the brake pistons being acted upon by hydraulic pressure supplied by the pressure source (4, 40) for the purpose of activation or deactivation of the parking brake device, characterized in that the hydraulic pressure, after deactivation of the parking brace device, is used at least partly for the operation of the front-axle wheel brakes (2).
Method as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that hydraulic pressure introduced into the front-axle wheel brakes (2) is used at least partly for the activation of the parking Drake device on the rear-axle wheel brakes (3).
