Emergency Brake Assistance (EBA)

The EBA function is designed to provide full brake effect immediately in the event of sudden, hard braking. The system is activated by the speed with which you depress the brake pedal.
NOTE
• When the EBA system is activated, the
brake pedal will go down and pressure
in the brake system immediately increases
to the maximum level. You must
maintain full pressure on the brake
pedal in order to utilize the system completely.
There will be no braking effect if
the pedal is released. EBA is automatically
deactivated when the brake pedal
is released.
• When the vehicle has been parked for
some time, the brake pedal may sink
more than usual when the engine is
started. This is normal and the pedal will
return to its usual position when it is
released.
