An arrangement for generating and making available a vacuum for an auxiliary power system of a vehicle, such as a brake booster, comprises a throttle disposed in the intake system of an internal combustion engine between the carburetor and the engine, a vacuum conduit having one end connected to the auxiliary power system and the other end connected to the intake system between the throttle and the engine, a first sensor coupled to the conduit produces a first response when the vacuum has achieved at least a predetermined value, at least one second sensor responding to at least one other operating state of either the engine or the vehicle to produce a second response dependent on the operating state, and a control arrangement coupled to the first and second sensors and the throttle to control the throttle in response to the first and second responses. |
