What is Honda City brake assist?

Honda City Brake Assist
Honda City Brake Assist is a safety feature designed to help drivers maintain control during emergency braking situations. When the system detects an extreme rate of pedal application and pressure as a result of a sudden stop, it automatically applies full braking force to help stop the vehicle in the shortest distance possible. This feature is especially useful in panic-stop situations where the driver may not be able to apply maximum braking force on their own.
The City Brake Assist system deactivates when the driver releases pressure on the brake pedal. It is designed to assist the driver in obtaining full braking performance in an emergency. The system issues audible and visual signals to alert the driver and will automatically apply brake pressure if the driver fails to react.
Honda City Brake Assist is part of a suite of safety features offered by Honda, including the Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) Body Structure, front airbags, side airbags, side curtain airbags, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with Traction Control, Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), and Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD).
