MAIN FEATURES
The mechanical type brake assist uses the brake assist mechanism in the brake booster to mechanically activate the brake booster function in order to increase the brake force.
The primary purpose of the brake assist is to provide an auxiliary brake force to assist the driver who cannot generate a large brake force during emergency braking, thus helping draw the vehicle's brake performance.
