Method for adjusting a brake pedal characteristic

A method adjusts a brake pedal characteristic of a vehicle having a brake pedal configured to generate a brake pedal deceleration demand and at least one further deceleration demand generating device to generate at least one further deceleration demand. The vehicle is configured to decelerate according to the brake pedal deceleration demand and to the at least one further deceleration demand. The method determines an achievable deceleration potential as a result of the further deceleration demand; generates a deceleration demand for adjusting the brake pedal deceleration demand at 0% brake pedal input according to the achievable deceleration potential; and adjusts the brake pedal characteristic of the vehicle.
