BRAKES

Type: Hydraulic, Power-Assisted Vacuum, 4-Sensor, 4-Channel ABS & ESC (includes EBD, BAS and TCS): BASE 1.6L (Standard), SOUL + 2.0L (Standard), SOUL ! 2.0L (Standard)
- The standard Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) gives you better vehicle control during hard or sudden braking, especially on wet or unstable road surfaces. By helping prevent the wheels from locking up under hard braking conditions, you're able to maintain better control of the vehicle as well as stopp sooner. ABS monitoring sensors will detect it and cause the brakes to be primed, which helps you maintain the ability to steer. ESC or Electronic Stability Control monitors and assists in the control of key vehicle functions by braking individual wheels and reducing engine power accordingly. EBD or Electronic Brakeforce Distribution allows for more controlled and precise handling while applying the brakes. The BAS system or the Brake Assist System instantly assesses a number of variables including brake pedal pressure and speed the brake pedal was depressed and responds with full braking force if necessary. TCS or the advanced Traction Control System senses wheel spin during acceleration. Using a combination of engine power and brake force, power is transferred to the wheels that have the most grip offering increased control and traction.
