Brake functions
The vehicle's standard braking features are aug-
mented by a number of auxiliary help functions.
In addition to the wheel brakes and the parking
brake, the vehicle is equipped with several auto-
matic brake assist functions. These systems help
the driver by e.g., keeping the vehicle stationary
when the brake pedal is not depressed (at a traf-
fic light or intersection), when starting up a hill or
when driving down a hill.
These systems include:
•
Auto-hold brakes
•
Hill Start Assist
•
Braking assist after a collision
•
Hill Descent Control
