Brake functions
The vehicle's brakes are used to reduce speed or prevent the vehicle from rolling.
Warning
Never drive the vehicle if the brake warning light is illuminated.
In addition to the wheel brakes and parking brakes, the vehicle is also equipped with a number of automatic brake assist functions. These systems help the driver by e.g. keeping the vehicle stationary when the brake pedal is not depressed (e.g. at a traffic light or intersection) or when starting up a hill.
Depending on how the vehicle is equipped, the following brake assist functions may be included:
- Braking when stationary
- Braking assist after a collision
- Creep – the vehicle is kept stationary, depending on setting
- Warning and auto-braking while backing up
- Assistance during collision risks
