EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST
This system is complementary to
ABS and helps reduce 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, emergency
brake assist 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.
Hazard warning lights
switching on
These can light up in the event of
rapid deceleration.
This function is an
additional aid in case of
critical driving conditions
to enable the vehicle
behaviour to be adapted to suit the
driving conditions.
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.
Therefore, it can, under no
circumstances, replace the
vigilance or responsibility of the
driver when manoeuvring the
vehicle (the driver must always be
ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
