A vehicle brake system includes a brake pedal operable to receive a user input force, a master cylinder operably coupled to the brake pedal, a brake cylinder selectively coupled to the master cylinder via a hydraulic circuit, an electronically-controlled pressure generating unit distinct from the master cylinder, and a controller operable to receive a signal indicative of the user input force to the brake pedal. In a first mode, the controller is operable to actuate the electronically-controlled pressure generating unit to apply hydraulic fluid pressure to the brake cylinder according to the signal. In a second mode, the master cylinder is operable to actuate the brake cylinder, and the controller is operable to actuate the electronically-controlled pressure generating unit to supplement the master cylinder and extend a fluid volume capacity of the master cylinder.
