Driving and operation

Brake assist

~1min read

When the brake pedal is pressed quickly and firmly, maximum braking force (emergency braking) is applied automatically.

Brake assist operation may be felt as a pulse in the brake pedal and increased resistance when pressing the brake pedal.

Keep constant pressure on the brake pedal for as long as maximum braking is required.

Maximum braking force is automatically reduced when the brake pedal is released.
