BAS

The Brake Assist System (BAS) operates in

emergency situations. If you apply the

brakes very quickly, the BAS automatically

provides full brake boost, thereby poten-

tially reducing the braking distance.

왘 Apply continuous full braking pressure

until the emergency braking situation is

over.

The ABS will prevent the wheels from

locking.

When you release the brake pedal, the

brakes function again as normal. The BAS

is then deactivated.

Warning! G

The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of

physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can

it increase braking or steering efficiency be-

yond that afforded by the condition of the

vehicle brakes and tires or the traction

afforded. The ABS cannot prevent acci-

dents, including those resulting from exces-

sive speed in turns, following another

vehicle too closely, or hydroplaning. Only a

safe, attentive, and skillful driver can pre-

vent accidents. The capabilities of an ABS

equipped vehicle must never be exploited in

a reckless or dangerous manner which

could jeopardize the user’s safety or the

safety of others.

Warning! G

If the BAS is malfunctioning, the brake sys-

tem is still functioning normally, but without

the additional brake boost available that

BAS would normally provide in an emergen-

cy braking maneuver. Therefore, the braking

distance may increase.

Warning! G

BAS cannot prevent the natural laws of

physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can

it increase braking efficiency beyond that af-

forded by the condition of the vehicle brakes

and tires or the traction afforded. The BAS

cannot prevent accidents, including those

resulting from excessive speed in turns, fol-

lowing another vehicle too closely, or hydro-

planing. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful

driver can prevent accidents. The capabili-

ties of a BAS equipped vehicle must never

be exploited in a reckless or dangerous

manner which could jeopardize the user’s

safety or the safety of others.
