The brake assist system monitors the inten
tion of the driver while braking. If the systemsenses that hard/fast pressure has beenapplied to the brake pedal, the system will
generate additional pressure, making it easier to maintain brake application. When thishappens, the brake pedal may feel easier to
push. This is normal; just hold the brake
pedal down firmly.
