STARTING AND OPERATING 283 Traction Control System (TCS) This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each driven wheel. If wheel spin is detected, brake pressure is applied to the slipping wheel(s) and engine power is reduced to provide enhanced acceleration and stability. Brake Assist System (BAS) This system complements the ABS by optimizing the vehicle braking capability during emergency braking maneuvers. This system detects an emergency braking situation by sensing the rate and amount of brake application and then applies optimum pressure to the brakes. A feature of the TCS system functions similar to a This can help reduce braking distances. limited-slip differential and controls the wheel spin across a driven axle. If one wheel on a driven axle is Applying the brakes very quickly results in the best BAS spinning faster than the other, the system will apply the assistance. To receive the benefits of this system, you brake of the spinning wheel. This will allow more engine must apply continuous brake pedal pressure during the torque to be applied to the wheel that is not spinning. stopping sequence. Do not reduce brake pedal pressure This feature remains active even if TCS and ESP are in the unless braking is no longer desired. Once the brake pedal "Partial Off" or "Full Off" modes. Refer to "Electronic is released, the BAS is deactivated. Stability Program (ESP)" in this section for more information. NOTE: The LSD is a true LSD and the TCS function is similar to a limited-slip differential. 5
