Brake Assist (All)

Definition

This safety feature is found on all current Honda vehicles. 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, the system helps drivers apply full braking force, thus helping to stop the vehicle in the shortest distance possible. When the driver releases pressure on the brake pedal, the Brake Assist system deactivates.
