BrakeAssistSystem(BAS)—IfEquipped
WARNING!
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
Anti-LockBrakeSystem(ABS).Applyingthebrakesvery

ing pressure during the stopping sequence. Do not

deactivated.

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
tractionafforded.
The BAS cannot prevent accidents, including
those resulting from excessive speed in turns,
following another vehicle too closely, or hydro-
planing.Onlyasafe,attentive,andskillfuldriver
