Brake Assist System (BAS)
Warning!
The Brake Assist System is designed
to maximize the vehicle's braking
capability during emergency braking
maneuvers by having maximum
power boost applied to the brakes
more quickly in emergency braking
conditions than might otherwise be
afforded solely by the driver's braking
style. This can help reduce braking
distances over what ordinary driving
and braking style might do. The BAS
complements the Antilock Brake
System (ABS).
If the BAS/ASR or BAS/ESP
malfunction indicator lamp comes on
while the engine is running, a
malfunction has been detected in
either system. As a result, it is
BAS cannot prevent the natural laws
of physics from acting on the vehicle,
nor can it increase braking efficiency
beyond that afforded by the
condition of the vehicle brakes and
tires or the traction afforded. The
BAS cannot prevent accidents,
including those resulting from
excessive speed in turns, following
another vehicle too closely, or
aquaplaning. Only a safe, attentive,
and skillful driver can prevent
accidents. The capabilities of a BAS
equipped car must never be exploited
in a reckless or dangerous manner
which could jeopardize the user's
safety or the safety of others.
possible that now only partial engine
output will be available, and pressing
the accelerator pedal will require more
effort. If the BAS malfunctions, the
brake system functions in the usual
manner, but without BAS.
If the charging voltage falls below 10
volts, the malfunction indicator lamp
comes on and the BAS is switched off.
When the voltage is above this value
again, the malfunction indicator lamp
should go out and the BAS is
To receive the benefit of the system
you must apply continuous full
braking power during the stopping
sequence. Do not reduce brake pedal
pressure.
operational.
Once the brake pedal is released, the
BAS is deactivated
With the ABS malfunctioning, the
BAS, ASR or ESP are also switched
off. Both malfunction indicator lamps
come on with the engine running.
Have the BAS, ASR or ESP checked
at your authorized Mercedes-Benz
dealer as soon as possbile.
The indicator lamps for the ASR and
ESP are combined with the BAS
indicator lamp.
The BAS/ASR or BAS/ESP

instrument cluster come on with the
key in steering lock position 2 and
should go out with the engine running.

Automotive readers have rated 1998 Mercedes-Benz S320 S420 S500 W140 Owners Manual 3.8 out of 5.0 based on 5 product reviews. This sight is a piece of shit. It keeps asking me for information with no results.
I'm about to try and download manual. If it works, I think it's a great thing.
