Panic Assist Braking (ABS With Stability Control)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lincoln LS. 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 the active brake booster. The ABS module continuously monitors the pedal travel sensor and when a pedal stroke is more rapid than normal, the ABS module will energize the solenoid in the brake booster to apply full brake boost. Panic assist will be disabled when the driver releases the brake pedal.
