STARTING AND OPERATING
Traction Control System (TCS)
Brake Assist System (BAS)
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

desired. Once the brake pedal is released, the BAS is
deactivated.
