Soft stop when braking to standstill (not on BMW 3-Series all-wheel drive or E83)

Soft stop prevents the vehicle from jolting to a stop (e.g. with an inexperienced driver).

When the vehicle is braked to a standstill, there is no uncomfortable jerk (causing the occupants to "lurch" forward). DSC calculates the moment that standstill can be expected from the current road speed and deceleration.

Just before standstill is achieved, the brake pressure on the rear axle is reduced so that the vehicle stops with practically no jerking.

Soft stop is only active for light braking, so that the shortest possible stopping distance can still be achieved in emergency braking situations.
