In emergencies, some drivers, especially inexperienced ones, often panic and do not apply sufficient pressure on the brake pedal. Brake Assist measures the speed and force with which the brake pedal is pushed to determine whether the driver is attempting an emergency stop. If the system determines that is the case, it applies additional brake pressure to allow the driver to take full advantage of the ABS brake system. When the driver intentionally eases up on the brake pedal, the system reduces the amount of assistance it provides. This feature comes with VSC.

The daytime running light system activates the low beam headlights at a reduced intensity during daylight to keep the car highly visible to other vehicles. On some models, a dash-mounted sensor automatically switches between DRLs and the normal intensity low beams according to the lighting conditions (nighttime, tunnel, etc.). (Note: The DRL system activates either low beams or high beams - it varies by model.)
