          Application No. 08/832,960                                                  


          automatic braking operation, comprising the steps of actuating              
          an automatic braking operation upon reaching a trigger                      
          criterion based at least on a condition that one or more                    
          wheels has reached a lock-up limit to control the brake                     
          pressure of a least one wheel not subjected to ABS control so               
          as to increase the brake pressure independently of the                      
          manually operable brake-activating device, and during the                   
          automatic braking operation, synchronously acting upon the at               
          least one wheel not subjected to ABS control and the                        
          mechanical brake-actuating device such that the increased                   
          brake pressure for the at least one wheel not subjected to ABS              
          control corresponds to the brake-pressure valve represented by              
          the respective instantaneous position of the mechanical brake-              
          activating device.                                                          
               As shown in Figures 1 and 2, Yoshino discloses an anti-                
          lock control device comprising wheel speed sensors (S -S ) for              
                                                               1  4                   
          detecting the wheel speed of the wheels of a motor vehicle and              
          for outputting corresponding wheel speed signals; an                        
          electronic control unit (ECU), including a central processing
