Emergency Brake Assistance

(EBA)
The (EBA) function is integrated in the DSTC
system and is designed to provide immediate
maximum braking force whenever rapid brake
application is necessary. The system detects the
need for heavier braking by registering how
quickly the brake pedal is applied.
The EBA function is active at all speeds. For
reasons of safety, it cannot be switched off.
When the EBA function is activated,
the brake pedal sinks while maximum braking
force is applied. Continue braking without
releasing the brake pedal. The EBA function
disengages when the pressure on the brake
pedal is released.
WARNING!
Under normal driving conditions, the DSTC
system improves the car's road safety, but
this should not be taken as a reason to
increase speed. Always follow the usual
precautions for safe cornering and driving
on slippery surfaces.
