METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN ELECTRONIC SLIP-CONTROLLABLE BRAKING SYSTEM FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE

A braking system includes an actuating unit for specifying a braking intention, and multiple braking devices. A first braking device includes a wheel brake, onto which a drivable pressure generator is able to apply a pressure medium, which is under braking pressure, the pressure generator being contactable with a pressure medium reservoir via a supply line. A second braking device, for converting kinetic energy of the motor vehicle into electric energy, is equipped with a drivable electric machine. The two braking devices jointly contribute to the generation of the braking power of the braking system, the respective proportion of a braking device in the braking power being variable. A connection is established, through which pressure medium is able to flow, from the wheel brake to the pressure medium reservoir using an electronic control unit, when the second braking device is able to itself generate the braking power.
