Abstract

A vehicle brake system including: a pressurizing motor that is connected to a brake pedal and configured to increase a braking force that is generated; and a processor. The processor is configured with a program to perform operations including: operation as an information acquisition part to obtain information on whether a shift position of an automatic transmission is in a non-driving mode and information on operation on the brake pedal; and operation as a braking force controller to perform, when a predetermined retention condition is met, control of braking force so that a stationary state of a host vehicle is maintained. When the predetermined retention condition is met and the shift position is in the non-driving mode, the braking force controller is configured to perform control to increase the braking force that is generated using the pressurizing motor once the brake pedal is in a non-operated state.
