Subaru Forester: Brake assist system
Do not be overconfident about the brake assist. It is not a system that brings more braking ability to the vehicle beyond its braking capability.
Always use the utmost care when driving regarding vehicle speed and safe distance.
When you need to brake suddenly, continue depressing the brake pedal strongly to bring the effect of the brake assist.
Brake assist is a driver assistance system.
It assists the brake power when the driver cannot depress the brake pedal strongly and the brake power is insufficient.
Brake assist generates the brake power according to the speed at which the driver depresses the brake pedal.
NOTE
When you depress the brake pedal
strongly or suddenly, the following
phenomena occur. However, even
though these occur, they do not indicate any malfunctions, and the brake
assist system is operating properly.
- You might feel that the brake pedal is applied by lighter force and generates a greater braking force.
- You might hear clicking (knocking) sounds around brake pedal.
Brake booster
The brake booster uses engine manifold
vacuum to assist braking force. Do not
turn off the engine while driving because
that will turn off the brake booster, resulting
in poor braking power.
