A method for operating a brake device with service and parking brake function

The invention relates to a method for operating a brake device with service and parking brake function, which is zuspannbar both by means of a hydraulic pressure generator by hydraulic means and bypassing the hydraulic transmission means of an electromechanical force generator, wherein the hydraulic pressure generator and the electro-mechanical power generator on a common tightening member attack and the electromechanical power generator via an actuating element to the tightening effect. the electromechanical brake application exerting force generator is performed a handover from the hydraulic brake application exerting pressure generator as soon as the effective of the brake device the braking torque, which is composed during the handover from the force applied by the hydraulic pressure generator braking torque and the pressure applied by the electro-mechanical power generator braking torque at least is as high as the braking torque that is applied by the hydraulic pressure generator alone before the handover. The present invention further relates to a motor vehicle with a braking device for implementing the method.
