The functions of the brake assist system: 1. Prevent wheel lock-up when braking; 2. Automatically adjust the braking force distribution ratio between the front and rear axles based on the different axle load transfers during vehicle braking, improving braking efficiency; 3. Judge the driver's braking action and increase braking force during emergency braking to shorten the braking distance; 4. When the vehicle experiences wheel slippage, rollover, or loss of tire traction, it purposefully applies braking control to individual wheels while reducing engine speed, ultimately guiding the vehicle back to its normal driving path to avoid dangers caused by loss of control; 5. Reduce the slip rate of the drive wheel tires by controlling the magnitude of driving force, preventing collisions and stabilizing the vehicle.

Last time on the highway, I almost rear-ended another car and deeply realized the value of the brake assist system. When that truck suddenly changed lanes, I instinctively slammed on the brakes, but didn't apply enough force. At that critical moment, the vehicle itself determined it was an emergency situation and instantly maximized the braking pressure, making the tires screech. This system is like having an experienced co-driver helping you brake, specifically addressing the issue of insufficient braking when humans panic. Data shows it can reduce braking distance by over 10%, especially benefiting those with less physical strength like women or elderly drivers. Now when buying a car, I always pay special attention to this feature—after all, it can prevent rear-end collisions in crucial moments.

As a driver who frequently takes long-distance trips, I particularly rely on the brake assist system. The working principle of this device is quite ingenious: it uses sensors to monitor the speed and force of my braking in real-time. If it determines that it's an emergency stop, it immediately activates the hydraulic booster to amplify the braking force. Simply put, it turns my hesitation into decisive braking. Once on a rainy day when the road was slippery and the car in front stopped suddenly, I clearly felt the vehicle stop more steadily and decisively with the system's intervention than if I had braked on my own. Now, when encountering unexpected situations on the road, I feel much more composed, knowing that there's an intelligent system silently safeguarding me.

As a novice driver, sudden obstacles are my biggest fear. Fortunately, the vehicle is equipped with brake assist. That time when a child suddenly rushed onto the road, I panicked and didn't press the brake pedal all the way down, but the system instantly supplemented the braking force. The core of this technology lies in compensating for human reaction deficiencies—we often under-brake when flustered. Working in tandem with ABS, it can react within one second, reducing the braking distance from 70 km/h by several car lengths. I strongly recommend that new drivers prioritize models with this feature when choosing a car—it's truly a lifesaver in critical moments.

The brake assist system is truly the invisible guardian of modern vehicles. Traditional braking relies entirely on the driver's foot pressure, but humans often fail to apply sufficient force or react quickly enough in panic situations. This system uses pressure sensors and ECU to intelligently assess emergency levels, automatically triggering maximum braking force with a response speed three times faster than human reaction. In my dedicated testing, braking distance on wet roads was reduced by 15% compared to manual braking when the system was activated. Now I feel much more at ease during family trips - even with elderly parents and children in the back seats, sudden braking situations don't worry me anymore.
