Inexperienced or panicking driver applies brakes quickly but without enough pressure. Driver sometimes eases up on the brake pedal too soon. The Brake Assist system increases braking force, even when the brake pedal isn’t pushed hard enough. When the driver intentionally eases up on the brake pedal, the Brake Assist system reduces the amount of assistance applied.
