Brake Assistant System (BAS)

The Brake Assistant System provides additional pressure when the brake pedal is momentarily and strongly pressed in situations where sudden braking is required whilst driving.

The Brake Assistant System reduces the time for ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) control to engage and consequently reduces the braking distance, by providing additional pressure up to the point of ABS intervention.

System operation

• When the vehicle speed is more than 30 km/h and the ABS control is not engaged.

• When the brake pedal is pressed strongly over a certain level.

• When the friction of the road surface is above a certain level.

System off

• The vehicle speed is below 10 km/h.

• The brake pedal is pressed 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 habits, the degree to which the brake pedal is pressed and the road surface condition.
