STARTING AND OPERATING
259
The Brake Assist System (BAS) is stand ard on vehicles
equ ipped with Electronic Stability Program (ESP). The
BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s braking capa-
bility during emergency braking 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 complements the Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS). Applying the brakes very quickly
resu lts in the best 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. Once the brake pedal is released , the BAS is
deactivated .
ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM (ESP) — IF
EQUIPPED
WARN ING!
The ESP (Electron ic Stab ility Program ) cannot pre-
ven t the natu ral law s of physics from actin g on the
veh icle, nor can it increase the traction afford ed by
prevailin g road condition s. The ESP cannot preven t
accid ents, including those resu ltin g from excessive
speed in turns, drivin g on very slip pery surfaces, or
hydrop lan ing. Only a safe, atten tive, and skillfu l
driver can preven t accid ents. The capabilities of an
ESP-eq uipped veh icle must never be exploited in a
reck less or dangerou s manner, which could jeop ar-
dize the user’s safety or the safety of oth ers.

This system enhances directional control and stability of
the vehicle und er variou s driving cond itions. The ESP
corrects for oversteering and und ersteering the vehicle
by applying the brake of the approp riate wheel. Engine
