A driver assistance system has an emergency stop function for a motor vehicle. The motor vehicle has an electric parking brake. A parking-brake operating element is used to activate the electric parking brake. The driver assistance system is designed to activate an emergency stop function in accordance with the actuation of the parking-brake operating element and, as part of the emergency stop function, to perform an autonomous emergency stop driving maneuver for the emergency stopping of the vehicle. The driver assistance system is characterized in that the driver assistance system is designed to activate the emergency stop function only in response to an end of the actuation of the parking-brake operating element.
