UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE
BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM (BAS)— IF EQUIPPED
BAS is stand ard on vehicles equ ipped with electronic
stability program (ESP). The BAS is designed to optimize
the vehicle’s braking capability during emergency brak-
ing maneu vers. The system applies optimum pressu re to
the brakes in emergency braking cond itions than might
otherw ise be afford ed solely by the driver’s braking style.
This can help red uce braking distances. The BAS comple-
ments the antilock brake system (ABS). Applying the
brakes very quickly resu lts in maxim um BAS assistance.
To receive the benefit of the system , you must apply
continu ous braking power during the stop ping sequ ence.
Do not red uce brake pedal pressu re.
WARN ING!
BAS cannot preven t the natu ral law s of physics from
actin g on the veh icle, nor can it increase brak ing
efficien cy beyon d that afford ed by the condition of
the veh icle brak es and tires or the traction afford ed.
The BAS cannot preven t accid ents, including those
resu ltin g from excessive speed in turns, follow ing
anoth er veh icle too closely, or hydrop lan ing. Only a
safe, atten tive, and skillfu l driver can preven t acci-
dents. The capabilities of a BAS-eq uipped veh icle
must never be exploited in a reck less or dangerou s
manner which could jeop ard ize the user’s safety or
the safety of oth ers.
