Emergency brake display
All model variants of the T5 2010 now feature the new "emergency brake display" function.
The ABS control unit J104 detects an emergency braking situation based on the stored threshold values for
deceleration and/or the ABS intervention time. It sets an emergency braking threshold if the speed is still faster than
60 km/h at this time. The onboard supply control unit controls the function of the emergency brake display in
response.
