The invention relates to a method for braking a combination of a plurality of vehicles coupled to one another, wherein the vehicles each have electronically controlled brakes, particularly electropneumatic brakes, a stability system for detecting a tipping danger, at least one electronic switching unit ECU, and a data interface for receiving and transmitting data, and wherein if a tipping danger for one of the vehicles is detected, it is automatically braked, more particularly, the outer wheels on a curve are braked. According to the invention, if a tipping danger for one vehicle is detected, a signal is transmitted via the data interface, from which it can be seen that the stability system of the tipping-endangered vehicle is active, and the leading vehicle is then automatically braked.
