Brake Assist Features

Brake assist helps ensure that any driver can achieve the full braking potential of the vehicle by increasing brake system pressure in a panic situation, bringing the vehicle into a full ABS stop.

If during a panic stop the ABS modulator-control unit determines that the brake system pressure increases above a threshold in less than a certain amount of time, the ABS modulator-control unit engages brake assist.

Because the brake system pressure crossed the pressure threshold before the time threshold had expired, the ABS modulator-control unit goes into brake assist mode.
