UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE
BAS (Brake Assist System)
WARN ING!
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 contin uous brak-
ing pressu re during the stop ping sequ ence (do not
“pump” the brakes). Do not red uce brake pedal pressu re
unless braking is no longer desired . Once the brake pedal
is released , the BAS is deactivated .
BAS (Brak e Assist System ) cannot preven 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. BAS 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 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.
