Abstract
A brake system includes a brake device, a brake circuit that generates a braking force for braking a vehicle, ECU that controls the braking force generated by the brake circuit according to a stroke amount of the brake pedal, and a user interface. When the first mode is selected, the ECU executes normal control for controlling the braking force generated by the brake circuit based on a basic characteristics which is a basic relationship between the stroke amount of the brake pedal and the braking force. When the second mode is selected, the ECU executes an automatic braking force control when the stroke amount is between a first threshold value and the second threshold value after the stroke amount of the brake pedal increases and reaches a predetermined set value. The ECU executes normal control when the stroke amount of the brake pedal becomes larger than the second threshold value.
