Abstract

A system which reduces an electric load on an on-board electrical system of a vehicle. The brake system has an anti-lock and traction control system. The latter has a high-pressure pump, with which pressure fluid can be withdrawn from a supply container and fed into a brake line. A charging valve that can be switched out of its shutoff position into its open position by a control unit is disposed in an intake line of the high-pressure pump. The control unit switches the charging valve into its open position at least whenever feeding of pressure fluid into the brake line is demanded. The brake system is especially well-suited to passenger cars, which have a very severely fluctuating rear axle load status.
