BRAKE ASSIST
This system is complementary to
ABS and helps reduce vehicle
stopping distances.
Operating principle
The system detects an emergency
braking situation. In this case, the
braking assistance immediately
develops maximum power and may
trigger ABS regulation.
This function is an
additional aid in case of
critical driving conditions
and allows the vehicle
handling to be adapted to suit the
driver.
ABS braking is maintained as long
as the brake pedal is not released.
Hazard lighting
Depending on the vehicle, these
may light up under sudden
deceleration.
However, the function does not
take the place of the driver. It does
not
increase
the
vehicle's
limitations and should not
encourage you to drive faster.
Thus,
it
can
under
replace
no
the
circumstances
vigilance or responsibility of the
driver when manoeuvring the
vehicle (the driver must always be
ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
