Braking CAUTION
When you need to brake suddenly, continue depressing the brake pedal strongly to bring the effect of the brake assist.
Brake assist is a driver assistance system. It assists the brake power when the driver cannot depress the brake pedal strongly and the brake power is insufficient.
Brake assist generates the brake power according to the speed at which the driver depresses the brake pedal.
NOTE
When you depress the brake pedal strongly or suddenly, the following phenomena occur. However, even though these occur, they do not indicate any malfunctions, and the brake assist system is operating properly.
� You might feel that the brake pedal is applied by lighter force and generates a greater braking force. � You might hear the sound of ABS operating from the engine compartment.
