MINI cars are renowned for their dependable performance, but even integral components such as brakes must keep up with technological advancements. Cutting edge braking technologies can provide drivers with additional confidence behind the wheel. Specifically, MINI vehicles are now equipped with several features that dramatically boost their stopping ability.
The most significant of these improvements is the inclusion of a Dynamic Stability Control system with Brake Fade Compensation. This cutting-edge feature operates by actively monitoring brake performance, regardless of the driving or climate conditions. If general braking performance begins to diminish, the system applies additional force to the corresponding brake caliper. This provides MINI drivers with more braking confidence, especially on long trips and heavy acceleration.
In addition to the Dynamic Stability Control, MINI vehicles now have the option of an Auto-Hold system. This automated feature applies extra pressure to the disc brakes to help maintain a stationary position when the vehicle is stopped. This is ideal for everyday driving scenarios, such as sitting at stoplights or in a congested parking lot. It also prevents the driver and passengers from having to constantly press the brake pedal.
MINI cars now feature a wide range of brake components to suit the needs of all types of drivers. Forward-thinking features such as an Anti-Lock Braking System reduce skidding by evenly distributing the brake force between all four wheels. A unique Cornering Brake Control feature also quickly applies the brakes on the outside of a turn to increase the driver’s control over the car.
Modern drivers crave better braking performance in their vehicles, and MINI cars now deliver. With cutting-edge braking technologies that are specifically tailored for the roads, drivers are sure to feel more confident behind the wheel. All of these features optimize both the comfort and the safety of each MINI car, allowing drivers to rest assured that they have the stopping power needed to handle any situation.
