Emergency brake assist: Function

1. Without emergency brake assist
2. With emergency brake assist

Emergency brake assist is a system which supplements ABS.

Emergency brake assist enables the system to recognise the situation and act immediately to provide the best possible stopping distance.

Emergency braking is calculated according to how quickly the brake pedal is depressed; in this situation, braking assistance immediately reaches its maximum level of output.

The system works conditionally for current braking systems.

The emergency brake assist is a mechanical system built into the brake servo and completely independent of any electronic component.

The brake servo is fitted with a magnet which reacts by locking the control unit when the pedal is depressed sharply.
