Your vehicle may be equipped with an optional ad-
vanced electronic brake control system that includes
Anti-LockBrakeSystem(ABS),TractionControlSystem
(TCS),BrakeAssistSystem(BAS)andElectronicStability
Program (ESP). All systems work together to enhance

The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s braking
capability during emergency braking maneuvers. The
systemdetectsanemergencybrakingsituationbysens-
ing the rate and amount of brake application and then
applies optimum pressure to the brakes. This can help
reduce braking distances. The BAS complements the
