A braking system for a towing vehicle is disclosed. The braking system includes a pressure medium source for supplying pressurized pressure medium, a parking brake module having a control valve and a redundancy valve, a trailer control valve system for a trailer brake of a trailer vehicle towed by the towing vehicle, and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to control the trailer control valve system in such a way that pressure medium escapes via the trailer control valve system into a non-pressurized environment, whereby the pressure medium source is emptied, when the control valve or the redundancy valve persist in the open state due to a mechanical defect and otherwise should be in the closed state, and when an ignition of the towing vehicle and a compressor for filling the pressure medium source are switched off.
