They are activated the moment you start just a little pressure on the pedal. Just a little more pressure and they are noticeably stopping the car.

My point is, if we could find a way to get these brakes on our XF's we would all be very happy - I promise you. I've never felt brakes like this in my 80 years. I don't know what Chrysler/Jeep did to get this kind of superb brake, but it is great. No pushing the brake half way, or more, to the floor, and NO SPONGY brake feel. About a 1/4" of pedal movement and you have firm, positive brake feel.

If anyone has any ideas on how this is done, please let all of us know. Is there a Chrysler/Jeep mechanic or engineer on this site?
