During emergency braking, when you need to press the brake pedal with greater force, the Emergency Brake Assist system increases the braking assistance and thus the braking effectiveness.

When you press the brake pedal harder or faster, the brakes work more effectively.

CAUTION

  • When you press the brake pedal hard or quickly, it will feel softer, but the brakes will be more effective. This is a normal effect of the Emergency Brake Assist and does not indicate a malfunction.

  • When you press the brake pedal hard or quickly, you may hear a pump operating noise from the brake system.

    This is a normal effect of the Emergency Brake Assist and does not indicate a malfunction.

  • Emergency Brake Assist does not replace the vehicle's main braking system.
