Hello, I am not certain what the "brake assist" light is, and why it comes on. I would recommend visiting a local shop near so you can show them what you are seeing. They can advise if it is normal for if it needs testing for a concern.
Brake assist in the workshop manual is described as the vacuum powered brake assist for the vehicle.
I would recommend a first hand discussion near you.
