Panic Assist Braking (ABS with Stability Assist)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2005 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Panic assist braking functions by fully applying the brakes during a panic stop using a specially developed pressure/pedal movement mechanism. Depending on the vehicle speed, if the brake pedal stroke is more rapid than normal, the brake booster automatically applies full brake boost. Panic assist is disabled when the driver releases the brake pedal.
