SureStop

SureStop is a term used primarily in the automotive industry to describe a type of braking system or a feature of a braking system designed to enhance safety and control during emergency braking situations. It often refers to systems that incorporate anti-lock braking system (ABS) technology and may include additional features to assist the driver in achieving optimal stopping power.

Functionally, "SureStop" (or similar branded systems) aim to prevent wheel lockup, which allows the driver to maintain steering control while applying maximum braking force. This is achieved by rapidly modulating the braking pressure to each wheel, preventing the wheels from skidding. Some systems may also include brake assist features, which can automatically increase braking force if the system detects a panic stop situation based on the speed and force with which the driver presses the brake pedal.

The term is sometimes used generically to refer to any advanced braking system with enhanced safety features, although specific implementations and capabilities can vary between manufacturers and vehicle models. The exact functionalities associated with a "SureStop" system will depend on the specific design and implementation by the automotive manufacturer. Therefore, consulting the vehicle's owner's manual or manufacturer specifications is crucial for understanding the precise capabilities of a SureStop (or similarly named) braking system in a given vehicle.
