Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA)

Our hydraulic brake assist system (HBA) comes to your aid in emergency or panic braking situations. The brake assist realises from the speed at which you brake that you need full braking power. It automatically boosts the brake pressure up to the ABS control threshold for as long as you keep the brake pedal pressed down. If you then ease off the pedal, the system will reduce the brake pressure again to match the brake pedal's position. This safety function can substantially shorten your car's stopping distance, although it's so smooth in operation you'll hardly notice it working.
