Abstract

A brake system includes a brake apparatus. This brake apparatus is configured to keep a vehicle braked by an electric mechanism in response to a parking brake request signal, and brake the vehicle by supply of a hydraulic pressure from a hydraulic source in response to an operation performed on a brake pedal. The brake system further includes a controller configured to drive the electric mechanism until a target pressing force is acquired to establish a brake holding state in response to the parking brake request signal. The controller is configured to change the target pressing force according to a change in a hydraulic pressure in the brake apparatus after starting driving the electric mechanism in response to the parking brake request signal.
