Brake Assist System (BAS) provides additional pressure when the brake pedal is momentarily and strongly depressed in a situation sudden braking is required whilst driving.

Brake Assist System (BAS) reduces the time for Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) control to enter and consequently reduces the braking distance, by providing additional pressure up to the point of Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) intervention.

Operation

• When the vehicle speed is more than 30 km/h (20 mph) and the ABS control is not entered. When the brake pedal is depressed strongly over a certain level. When the friction of the road surface is above a certain level.

Non-operating condition(s)

• The vehicle speed is below 10 km/h (6 mph)

• The brake pedal is depressed over certain conditions

• The friction of the road surface is below a certain level.

WARNING

Brake Assist System (BAS) may not operate depending on driver's driving habit, the degree to which the brake pedal is depressed and the road surface condition.
