390 STARTING AND OPERATING situation by sensing the rate and amount of brake application and then applies optimum pressure to the brakes. This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each This can help reduce braking distances. driven wheel. If wheel spin is detected, brake pressure is applied to the slipping wheel(s) and engine power is Applying the brakes very quickly results in the best BAS reduced to provide enhanced acceleration and stability. assistance. To receive the benefits of this system, you must apply continuous brake pedal pressure during the A feature of the TCS system, Brake Limited Differential stopping sequence. Do not reduce brake pedal pressure (BLD), controls the wheel spin across a driven axle. If one unless braking is no longer desired. Once the brake pedal wheel on a driven axle is spinning faster than the other, is released, the BAS is deactivated. the system will apply the brake of the spinning wheel. This will allow more engine torque to be applied to the WARNING! wheel that is not spinning. This feature remains active even if TCS and ESC are in the "Partial Off" or "Full Off" The BAS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics modes. Refer to "Electronic Stability Control (ESC)" in from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the this section for more information. traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. The Traction Control System (TCS) 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 BAS cannot prevent collisions, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on (Continued)
