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.

BAS reduces the time for ABS control to enter and consequently reduces the braking distance, by providing additional pressure up to the point of ABS intervention.

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

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