Abstract
A brake system includes: a brake actuating element; a first piston-cylinder unit having a first piston displaceable by the brake actuating element actuated by at least a predefined minimum actuation such that a first internal pressure in the first piston-cylinder unit is increased; at least one wheel brake cylinder having a brake pressure which is increased using the increased first internal pressure; a first brake booster; and a second piston-cylinder unit having a second piston displaceable by the first brake booster so that a second internal pressure in the second piston-cylinder unit is increased, and to which the at least one wheel brake cylinder is hydraulically connected such that the brake pressure of the at least one wheel brake cylinder is increased by the increased second internal pressure.
