Abstract

A hydraulic automotive vehicle brake system with an actuating assembly that is attached to the splashboard of the automotive vehicle and is operable by the vehicle brake pedal. In order to reduce the possibility of risk to the driver during a collision (especially a rear end collision), the present invention provides a system which simulates an increase volume requirement of the brake system, thus permitting increased actuating travel of the actuating assembly.
