What is the function of the auxiliary braking system?
2 Answers
Here are the main functions of the brake assist system: 1. To prevent wheel lock-up when the brakes are applied. 2. Automatically adjust the front and rear axle braking force distribution ratio during vehicle braking to improve braking efficiency, as the axle load transfer varies. 3. Detect the driver's braking action and increase braking force during emergency braking to shorten the braking distance. 4. When the vehicle experiences wheel slip, roll, or loss of tire traction, the system reduces engine speed and selectively applies braking to individual wheels to guide the vehicle back to normal driving trajectory, avoiding dangerous situations caused by loss of control. 5. By controlling the driving force, it reduces the slip rate of the drive wheel tires, preventing collisions and stabilizing the vehicle.
I've been driving for over ten years, and the auxiliary braking system has been a great help in rainy and snowy weather. It prevents wheel lock-up, maintains directional control, and avoids skidding accidents. I remember one time on the highway when I encountered an emergency, the system kicked in during hard braking, the tires didn’t lock up, and the car came to a stable stop with a shorter braking distance, saving me and my family. I think it integrates ABS and stability control, enhancing daily safety and also reducing tire wear. During regular maintenance, I always ask the technician to check the related components to ensure they don’t fail at critical moments. In short, for a long-term driver like me, this system makes driving more reassuring, especially on unfamiliar roads or during changing weather conditions.
