AÂ brake control system comprises: brake actuation means for actuating the brakes (11, fig 1) to supply a braking effort; and brake control means 15 for controlling the brake actuation means, wherein the brake control means is arranged to determine an acceleration of the vehicle based on movement detected by the movement sensing means (16, fig 1) and to ensure that the brake actuation means supplies a braking effort if the determined acceleration exceeds a set acceleration limit. The device is preferably used in a hill descent mode. The acceleration limit may be set lower and independently of the acceleration pedal if the vehicle is in neutral or moving in an unintended direction. |
