EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE
This is a system in addition to ABS
which helps reduce the vehicle
stopping distances.
Operating principle
The system detects an emergency
braking situation by means of a
sensor which measures the speed
with which the brake pedal is
depressed. In this case, braking
assistance instantly reaches its
maximum power and allows ABS
regulation to be reached as quickly
as possible.

ABS braking is maintained as long
as the brake pedal is not released.
However, the function does not
take the place of the driver. It does
not increase the vehicle's limits
and should not encourage you to
drive more quickly.
