Abstract:
1. A brake system for a vehicle, comprising: a master brake cylinder; a brake medium reservoir; a first wheel brake cylinder, which is hydraulically connected to the master brake cylinder so that a first brake medium volume is displaceable from the master brake cylinder into the first wheel brake cylinder; a second wheel brake cylinder, which is hydraulically connected to the master brake cylinder so that a second brake medium volume is displaceable from the master brake cylinder into the second wheel brake cylinder; a pump, which is hydraulically connected to the brake medium reservoir, wherein: a first continuously adjustable valve, which is coupled to the brake medium reservoir and hydraulically connected to the first wheel brake cylinder so that a fifth brake medium volume is transferable through the first continuously adjustable valve from the first wheel brake cylinder into the brake medium reservoir when the first continuously adjustable valve is at least partially open; and a block valve directly connected on one side to the master brake cylinder via a supply line and directly connected on an opposite side to a junction point where the delivery output of the pump meets the first continuously adjustable valve.
