Brake support | The system is designed to help reduce the impact speed by preparing the brakes for rapid braking. The system does not automatically apply the brakes. If you press the brake pedal, the system could apply additional braking up to maximum braking force, even if you lightly press the brake pedal. |
Active braking | The system is designed to apply the brakes if it detects a crash is imminent. This may help reduce impact or avoid the crash. |
