Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Motor vehicle brake control means operable to control a braking system of the vehicle to apply a brake torque to one or more wheels by a friction braking system and a regenerative braking system. The control means is further operable to determine an amount of corrosion product present on one or more brake surfaces of a friction braking system. The control means is operable to control the braking system to deploy a friction braking system to provide brake torque responsive to an amount of corrosion product thereby to reduce an amount of corrosion product on one or more brake surfaces. When corrosion is detected the friction means may be used instead of the regeneration means, and this may be specific to a certain set of wheels.
