Brake Assist System (BAS)
The BAS system is to reduce or to
avoid accident risk. It recognises the
distance from the vehicle ahead or
the pedestrian through the sensors
(i.e. radar and camera), and, if nec
-
essary, warns the driver of accident
risk with the warning message or
the warning alarms.

tions
The BAS system is a supplemental
system and is not a substitute for
safe driving practices. It is the
responsibility of the driver to always
check the speed and distance to the
vehicle ahead to ensure it is safe to
use the BAS system.
NOTICE
Take the following precautions
when using the Brake Assist System
(BAS):
This system is only a supplemental
system and it is not intended to, nor
does it replace the need for extreme
care and attention of the driver. The
sensing range and objects detect
-
able by the sensors are limited. Pay
attention to the road conditions at
all times.
NEVER drive too fast in accordance
with the road conditions or whilst
cornering.
Always drive cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situations
from occurring. BAS does not stop
the vehicle completely and does not
avoid collisions.
Good braking practices
Good braking practices help keep
occupants safe and extend brake
life.
䳜 Check to be sure the parking
brake is not engaged and the
parking brake indicator light is out
before driving away.
䳜 Driving through water may get
the brakes wet. They can also get
wet when the vehicle is washed.
Wet brakes can be dangerous!
Your vehicle will not stop as
quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet
brakes may cause the vehicle to
pull to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the
brakes lightly until the braking
action returns to normal, taking
care to keep the vehicle under
control at all times. If the braking
action does not return to normal,
stop as soon as it is safe to do so
and call a professional workshop
for assistance. Kia recommends
