The system includes a mechanism automatically increasing firmness with which the parking brake is applied after the vehicle engine stops, which includes a module that detects stopping of the engine and a module that commands an increase in the firmness of application. The module is configured to emit a signal characteristic of the stopping of the engine as a function of a status of the engine and of a status of an electrical supply. The module is configured to emit a signal demanding an increase in the firmness of application as a function of a status of the brake actuators and of signal characteristic of the stopping of the engine that comes from the module.
