Brake Assist
Brake assist detects emergency braking and increases brake pressure.
What is Brake Assist?
It reacts to fast pedal application. It helps drivers who brake too softly. It is standard on many cars. Studies showed many drivers do not press the pedal hard enough in emergencies, which led to the development of brake assist. In the EU it has been required on new cars for many years. Some systems also prefill the brakes when the driver lifts off the accelerator suddenly.
How it works
The system boosts pressure to maximum.
Why it matters for your car
Brake firmly in emergencies. It works with ABS.
