WARNING

If the BAS is faulty, the braking system continues to operate with all normal brake assistance. However, in emergency braking situations the braking force is not automatically increased and the braking distance may be longer.

  • Keep the brake pedal pressed for as long as the emergency braking situation requires.

The ABS, for its part, prevents the wheels from locking.

The BAS intervenes in emergency braking situations. If you press the brake pedal quickly, the BAS automatically increases the braking force to reduce the braking distance.

When you release the pedal, the brakes work normally again. The BAS is deactivated.
