Brake Assistant System (BAS)
The Brake Assistant System provides additional pressure when the brake pedal is momentarily and strongly depressed in a situation sudden braking is required whilst driving.
The Brake Assistant System reduces the time for ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) control to enter and consequently reduces the braking distance, by providing additional pressure up to the point of ABS intervention.
BAS operation
-
When the vehicle speed is more than 30 km/h and the ABS control is not entered.
-
When the brake pedal is depressed slightly under a certain level.
-
When the friction of the road surface is above a certain level.
BAS operation off
-
The vehicle speed is below 10 km/h.
-
The brake pedal is depressed over a certain conditions.
-
The friction of the road surface is below a certain level.
The system may not operate depending on driver's driving habit, the degree to which the brake pedal is depressed and the road surface condition.
-
The sensing range and objects detectable by the sensors are limited. Pay attention to the road conditions at all times.
-
NEVER drive too fast in accordance with the road conditions or whilst cornering.
-
Always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sudden situations from occurring. BAS does not stop the vehicle completely and does not avoid collisions.
