All MB cars, particularly the S-class actually, have a nice and progressive long travel pedal, compared to other makes which have far more sensitive pedals. This is good and bad depending on how you look at it.<br> <br> As for Brake Assist, you must hit the pedal with a certain speed and pressure. MB did a lot of testing before programming the values into the BAS computer, so the system is usually 95% accurate in determining a panic stop. I recently activated it when a car cut into my lane and I needed to slow down very rapidly.
