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.
WARN ING!
The Anti-Lock Brak e System (ABS) cannot preven t
the natu ral law s of physics from actin g on the ve-
hicle, nor can they increase the traction afford ed by
prevailin g road condition s. The ABS 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
ABS-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.

Brake Assist System (BAS)
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
Traction Control System (TCS)
This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each of red uce braking distances. The BAS complements the
the driven wheels. If wheel spin is detected , brake anti-lock brake system (ABS). Applying the brakes very
pressu re is applied to the slipping wheel(s) to provid e quickly resu lts in the best BAS assistance. To receive the
enhanced acceleration and stability. A featu re of the TCS
