Subaru Crosstrek Owners Manual: Brake assist system
WARNING

Always use the utmost care when driving regarding vehicle speed and safe distance.
CAUTION
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.
