Abstract
A braking system for a motor vehicle, including a wheel cylinders provided on wheels of the vehicle for braking the wheels with braking pressures corresponding to an operation of a brake operating member, a speed detector for detecting a running speed of the vehicle, a stop control device for lowering the braking pressures of the wheel cylinders when the detected vehicle speed falls below a predetermined reference value, and thereby reducing an amount of rock-back of the vehicle driver/passenger upon stopping of the vehicle, a slope determining device for determining whether a road on which the vehicle is running is a level road, an uphill or a downhill, and a device for determining a pressure-decrease pattern in which the braking pressures of the wheel cylinders are lowered by the stop control device, according to a result of the determination by the slope determining device.
