Brake assist

If the brake pedal is depressed quickly and forcefully, maximum brake force is automatically applied (full braking).

Maintain steady pressure on the brake pedal for as long as full braking is required. Maximum brake force is automatically reduced when the brake pedal is released.

Hill start assist

The system helps driving away on inclines by holding the vehicle. After the parking brake is disengaged and the foot brake pedal is released, the brakes are released after a 2 second delay.
