This feature helps drivers maintain optimum control during emergency braking.
The Feature:
Brake Assist is designed to help drivers apply full emergency stopping power in a panic-stop situation.
If Brake Assist detects an extreme rate of pedal application and pressure as the result of a sudden stop, the system applies full braking force to help stop the vehicle in the shortest distance possible.
When the driver releases pressure on the brake pedal, the Brake Assist system deactivates.
