hance vehicle stability and control in various
driving conditions and are commonly referred
to as ESC.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
This system aids the driver in maintaining ve-
hicle control under adverse braking conditions.
The system controls hydraulic brake pressure
to prevent wheel lockup and help avoid skid-
ding on slippery surfaces during braking. Refer
to “Anti-Lock Brake System” in “Starting and
Operating” for further information.
Brake Assist System (BAS)
The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s
braking capability during emergency braking
maneuvers. The system detects an emergency
braking situation by sensing the rate and
amount of brake application and then applies
optimum pressure to the brakes. This can help
reduce braking distances. The BAS comple-
ments the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). Ap-
plying the brakes very quickly results in the
best BAS assistance. To receive the benefit of
the system, you must apply
continuous
brak-
ing pressure during the stopping sequence (do
not “pump” the brakes). Do not reduce brake
pedal pressure unless braking is no longer
desired. Once the brake pedal is released, the
BAS is deactivated.
WARNING!
•
The Brake Assist System (BAS) cannot
prevent the natural laws of physics from
acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase
the traction afforded by prevailing road
conditions.
•
The BAS cannot prevent collisions, includ-
ing those resulting from excessive speed in
turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or
hydroplaning.
•
The capabilities of a BAS-equipped vehicle
must never be exploited in a reckless or
dangerous manner which could jeopardize
the user’s safety or the safety of others.
Traction Control System (TCS)
This system monitors the amount of wheel spin
of each of the driven wheels. 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.
A feature of the TCS system functions similar to
a limited slip differential and controls the wheel
spin across a driven axle. If one wheel on a
driven axle is spinning faster than the other, the
system will apply the brake of the spinning
wheel. This will allow more engine torque to be
applied to the wheel that is not spinning. This
feature remains active even if TCS and ESC are
in either the “Partial Off” or “Full Off” modes.
Refer to “Electronic Stability Control (ESC)” in
this section for further information.
Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM)
This system anticipates the potential for wheel
lift by monitoring the driver’s steering wheel
input and the speed of the vehicle. When ERM
determines that the rate of change of the steer-
ing wheel angle and vehicles speed are suffi-
cient to potentially cause wheel lift, it applies
the brake of the appropriate wheel and may
also reduce engine power to lessen the chance
that wheel lift will occur. ERM will only intervene
during very severe or evasive driving maneu-
vers.
ERM can only reduce the chance of wheel lift
occurring during severe or evasive driving ma-
neuvers. It can not prevent wheel lift due to
