What does the Buick 'Service Brake Assist' message mean?
1 Answers
It indicates that the brake fluid reservoir in the engine compartment needs to be refilled with brake fluid. If there is a malfunction with the vehicle's brake pads, it is necessary to promptly visit a 4S shop or repair shop for inspection. Below are relevant details: 1. Brake Assist System: When the computer detects that the driver is performing emergency braking, it can instantly increase braking force to prevent dangerous situations caused by insufficient braking force from the driver. This system only activates during emergency braking conditions. If this system malfunctions, safety is compromised, and it should be repaired promptly. 2. Compensating for Deficiencies: The Brake Assist System compensates for this deficiency in ABS. By utilizing sensors on the accelerator and brake systems, it can determine the driver's operation of the accelerator and brake pedals. When it detects that the driver suddenly presses the brake pedal with extreme speed and force, it will be judged as requiring emergency braking.
