Always use the utmost care when driving regarding vehicle speed and safe distance.
When you need to brake suddenly, continue depressing the brake pedal strongly to bring the effect of the brake assist.

Brake assist generates the brake power according to the speed at which the driver depresses 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 clicking (knocking) sounds around brake pedal.

vacuum to assist braking force. Do not
turn off the engine while driving because
that will turn off the brake booster, resulting
in poor braking power.
