UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE
TCS (Traction Control System)
BAS (Brake Assist System)
The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s braking
capability during emergency braking maneu vers. The
system detects an emergency braking situ ation by sens-
ing the rate and amount of brake application and then
applies optimum pressu re to the brakes. 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 brak-
ing pressu re during the stop ping sequ ence. Do not
red uce brake pedal pressu re unless braking is no longer
desired . Once the brake pedal is released , the BAS is
deactivated .
This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each of
the driven wheels. If wheel spin is detected , brake
pressu re is applied to the slipping wheel(s) to provid e
enhanced acceleration and stability. A featu re of the TCS
system functions similar to a limited slip differential and
controls the wheel spin across a driven axle. If one wheel
on a driven axle is spinning faster than the other, the
system will apply the brake of the spinning wheel. This
will allow more engine torqu e to be applied to the wheel
that is not spinning. This featu re rem ains active even if
TCS and ESP are in either the “Partial Off” or “Full Off”
modes. Refer to “ESP (Electronic Stability Program )” in
this section.
