How to turn off brake assist?
Holy cow…brake assist kicked in for the first time today…and I hate it. It slammed on the brakes when it was totally unnecessary.
I was driving about 4 car lengths behind a car and saw traffic slowing ahead of it. I started to slow and suddenly the warning beep happened and it was as if the brake pedal suddenly dropped about another inch, slamming on the brakes, and then suddenly it let go again. If someone had been close behind me they might have slammed into the back of me. I’ve been concerned with the collision detection thing because sometimes it gives me alerts simply from shadows on the road, but has never applied the brakes on its own…apparently the system required my foot to be on the brake to “ramp up”, as I don’t have active cruise control. Now I want it all off. 🤦‍♂️ |

I know that you can changed the detection warning levels to early, medium or late braking. But, I don't know if you can turn it off completely, as it's a safety feature. But you might be able to code it out, but unsure.

Always found it interesting that the F85 doesn't have brake assist, but does flash the big red car icon in the HUD and on the dash literally 10 ft before you are about to hit something. I'm personally glad it doesn't have the assist....just find the warning comical. totally useless.
