Hill holder control method for a vehicle

The rolling brake control method is used with an electronic braking control for maintaining a required pressure in the wheel brakes, for preventing motion of the vehicle, without the driver operating the brake pedal, until the gas pedal is moved from the idling position into a threshold position for releasing the rolling brake. A comfort release of the rolling brake is initiated until engagement of a forward gear and the reaching of a second threshold position by the gas pedal.
