Abstract
A brake system having a master brake cylinder with at least one brake chamber, for at least one brake circuit, and a brake booster. The brake booster communicates via a servo pressure line with a reservoir or a pump for supplying pressure fluid, and a pressure reduction valve is incorporated into the servo pressure line. This pressure reduction valve has a connection on the other end, via a pressure line, to at least the one brake circuit. The pressure reduction valve can assume three switching positions. In a first position at normal brake pressure, the servo pressure line is open between the brake booster and the reservoir and/or pump. If a predetermined pressure is exceeded, the servo pressure line is closed, in a second position. If a further threshold pressure value is also exceeded, then the servo pressure line is connected to a return line, so that the brake booster can be bled.
