A brake system for a vehicle includes a liquid pressure generating device for generating a liquid pressure dependent upon a manual operation, actuators having output ports for outputting a liquid pressure dependent upon an electrical command signal from a controller, and which are adapted to be connected to a reservoir when the actuators are non-operative, and switchover valves switchable between a state in which wheel brakes are connected to the liquid pressure generating device, and a state in which the wheel brakes are connected to the actuators. In the brake system, on-off valves are connected between the output ports of the actuators and the switchover valves, and are opened when the liquid pressures output from the actuators is equal to or higher than a predetermined value.
