Abstract
A brake system wherein an auxiliary power based on a manual force is electronically controlled to control the braking force so as to obtain braking effects corresponding to a manual control input. The braking force is controlled so that a vehicle deceleration corresponding to the control input can be obtained when the control input is equal to or greater than a comparatively small predetermined control input value Lo. When the control input is smaller than Lo, the braking force is controlled so that the vehicle acceleration will not exceed a value corresponding to the control input.
