Questions and Answers

How does Braking Assist enhance safety during emergency braking situations?

By deactivating the ABS system to allow for more aggressive braking.
By maintaining constant braking force regardless of pedal input.
By increasing the pedal force required for maximum braking.
By generating a greater braking force with less pedal force, especially during emergencies. (correct)

Under what driving conditions is the additional braking force provided by Braking Assist most likely to engage?

When the brake pedal is depressed lightly.
When the vehicle is traveling at a constant speed on a flat surface.
During slow, controlled stops in normal traffic.
When the force applied to the brake pedal exceeds a certain level, indicating a possible emergency. (correct)

What is the primary goal of integrating ABS with Braking Assist?

To allow the vehicle to stop faster on loose gravel.
To reduce the overall cost of the braking system.
To simplify the braking process for the driver in non-emergency situations.
To enhance the vehicle's capability to help avoid accidents by combining effective braking and anti-lock functionality. (correct)

Flashcards

Braking Assist

A system that incorporates ABS and a brake booster with a two-stage mechanical assist mechanism to generate greater braking force in emergency situations, even with light pedal force.

Braking Assist Activation

Braking Assist activates when the force on the brake pedal exceeds a certain level.

Braking Assist Benefit

Braking Assist allows for natural braking during ordinary driving while providing a larger braking force with less pedal force in emergencies.
