All About Auto

In emergency situations, sometimes when we press on the brake pedal the pressure that we exert is insufficient, that's where the brake assist comes in. Brake assist helps in such situations by applying full braking force when the pressure we applied to the pedal is insufficient. The brake assist serves solely to make up the deficiency in driver-applied force but it does not make the brakes stronger.

The brake assist system functions only during emergency braking. In such situations, the systems computer analyzes whether or not to activate brake assist, based on how fast and hard we press the brake pedal.
