Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA)
The Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA) assists you
to have shorter braking distance in emergency by
utilizing the pressure rapidly generated in the
braking system. 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 timely in
dangerous situation, but cannot depress the brake
pedal with enough force in a short time. Therefore,
the braking system does not produce maximum
brakeforce, resulting in the increase of braking
distance, increasing the risk of the accidents.
However, for vehicles with HBA, quickly
depressing the brake pedal and maintaining the
state will produce a greater brakeforce than that
under normal braking, which gives full play to
critical value of ABS, enabling the braking system
to produce the pressure required for the maximum
deceleration in the shortest time. Therefore, the
shortest braking distance is obtained.
Warning
HBA can improve 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.
