ydraulic Brake Assist (HBA) *
The Hydrauli
c Brake Assist (HBA) utilizes the
pressure in the braking system to assist you to
have shorter braking distance in case of
emergency. It makes full use of the characteristics
of ABS. The HBA will be deactivated automatically
when the brake pedal is released, and then the
braking system will return to its normal working
state.
Most drivers can hit the brakes timely in
dangerous situation, but cannot depress the brake
pedal with enough force in a short time. Therefore,
the braking system does not produce maximum
brakeforce, resulting in the increase of braking
distance, increasing the risk of the accidents.
However, for vehicles with HBA, quickly
depressing the brake pedal and maintaining the
state will produce a greater brakeforce than that
under normal braking, which gives full play to
critical value of ABS, enabling the braking system
to produce the pressure required for the maximum
deceleration in the shortest time. Therefore, the
shortest braking distance is obtained.
Warning
HBA can improve driving safety, but it is
impossible to go beyond kinematics rules.
Please adjust your driving speed according to
the road condition and regulated traffic speed.
