Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA)
The Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA) utilizes the
pressure in the braking system to assist you to
have shorter braking distance in case of
emergency. It makes full use of the characteristics
of ABS. The HBA will be deactivated automatically
when the brake pedal is released, and then the
braking system will return to its normal working
state.
Most drivers can hit the brakes in dangerous
situation, but cannot depress the brake pedal with
enough force in a short period of time. Therefore,
the braking system does not produce maximum
brakeforce, resulting in the increase of braking
distance, increasing the risk of the accidents.
However, when vehicles with HBA system
depress the brake pedal and maintain the state,
the HBA will produce a greater brakeforce than
that under normal state. It gives full play to critical
value function of the ABS, enabling the braking
system to produce the maximum deceleration
pressure in the shortest time. Therefore, the
shortest braking distance is obtained.
Warning
The Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA) can
improve your driving safety, but it is
impossible to go beyond kinematics rules.
Please adjust your driving speed according
to the road condition and regulated traffic
speed.
