General Information, Electronic Brake Management

This vehicle is equipped with Electronic Brake Management (EBM), which allows for the vehicle to brake more safely and effectively. Features of EBM are outlined below.

Temperature Monitoring

If the brakes reach a temperature that is too high, EBM closes access to the adaptive cruise control function to prevent the brakes from getting even hotter and damaging the vehicle, and a pop-up appears. This does not shut off active brake assist. For more information on adaptive cruise control, and active brake assist, see the chapter on Driver Assistance Features.

Endurance Brake Integration

Endurance braking integration reduces service brake overheating by engaging the engine brake during lighter, long-duration brake applications. This can be achieved with the engine brake stalk switch and now can also be activated by the brake pedal.

Additional Brake Assist

The EBM works with the brake system to provide additional deceleration depending on how much force and how quickly the driver depresses the brake pedal. For example, if the brake is pressed firmly and rapidly, the EBM provides more brake force to help with collision mitigation.

Brake Pad Lining Wear Distribution

The EBM monitors brake pad lining wear and distributes varying pressure based on the data received from the EBS. This helps brakes wear more evenly.
