Brake assist system
E00628201864
The brake assist system is a device assisting
drivers who cannot depress the brake pedal
firmly such as in emergency stop situations
and provides greater braking force.
If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the
brakes will be applied with more force than
usual.
CAUTION
 The brake assist system is not a device
designed to exercise braking force greater
than its capacity. Make sure to always keep a
sufficient distance between your vehicle and
a vehicle in front of you without relying too
much on the brake assist system.
NOTE
 Once the brake assist system is operational,
it maintains great braking force even if the
brake pedal is lightly released.
To stop its operation, completely remove
your foot from the brake pedal.
