Hydraulic Brake Assist
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Cadillac ATS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The hydraulic brake assist function is designed to support the driver in emergency braking situations.
The electronic brake control module receives inputs from the brake pressure sensor. When the electronic brake control module senses an emergency braking situation, it will actively increase the hydraulic brake pressure to a specific maximum by turning the pump motor ON.
