Brake Assist (BAS)

Brake Assist is not able to prevent the risk of losing traction with the road surface while drifting on turning and aquaplaning.

BAS helps reduce braking distances in emergency braking of the car, as well as ensures the completeness of the recoil system ABS, ETS and ESP (See below.).

With a sharp squeezing of a pedal of a foot brake BAS provides a maximum gain of the brake actuator, - if there is a need for further braking of the car, loosen the force pedal. When you release the brake pedal BAS off automatically.

If the voltage drops below the power board 10 is shut down amplifier BAS, - on the instrument panel lights up the corresponding indicator lamp (for systems BAS and ESP uses a common indicator lamp - see. Section A combination of devices, gauges and warning lights and indicator lights). Increasing the voltage level will automatically normalize the situation.
