Method and control device for carrying out an emergency and/or panic braking operation of a vehicle

The invention relates to a method and to a control device for carrying out an emergency and/or panic braking operation of a vehicle, wherein in a first phase (P1) a target vehicle deceleration, whichis requested by a driver at a particular time, is ignored, and an electromechanical brake booster is operated in a predefined high-power mode in such a way that a master cylinder pressure (PTMC) in the master brake cylinder is increased by means of an increased motor force of a motor of the electromechanical brake booster, in an intermediate phase (Pint) the master brake cylinder pressure (PTMC) is reduced to a predefined or specified target pressure by pumping brake fluid from the master brake cylinder into the at least one wheel brake cylinder, and the motor force of the motor of the electromechanical brake booster is reduced to a predefined or specified target force, and during a second phase (P2) the increasing of the brake pressure in the at least one wheel brake cylinder is continuedonly if the driver reques
