Hydraulic Brake Assist
system (BA)
BA recognises how rapidly the
accelerator is released and the
brake pedal is applied.
BA initiates ABS earlier, shortening
the stopping distance required.
Electronic Brakeforce
Distribution (EBD)
EBD senses the vehicle load (both
passengers and luggage) and
optimises rear braking force.
EBD works in combination with ABS
to prevent excessive braking and
locking of the rear wheels. Braking
pressure is transferred between the
front and the rear axles.
