Electronic Brake Assist (EBA)
The EBA is incorporated into the ESP
®
system and detects an emergency braking
situation. It recognises how rapidly the brake pedal is applied and automatically provides
maximum braking efciency as long as the brake pedal is depressed. Additionally, the
EBA initiates ABS earlier, shortening the stopping distance required.
WARNING
Do not let this special safety feature tempt you into taking risks when driving. Trafc
safety can only be achieved by adopting a responsible driving style. The vehicle’s
speed should always be adjusted to suit road and trafc conditions. Always maintain
an adequate distance to the vehicle in front of you.
