Brake Assist System (BAS)
The Brake Assistant System provides additional pressure when the brake pedal is momentarily and strongly depressed in a situation sudden braking is required while driving.
The Brake Assistant System reduces the time for ABS(Anti-Lock Brake System) control to enter and consequently reduces the braking distance, by providing additional pressure up to the point of ABS intervention.

When the vehicle speed is more than 30 km/h (20 mph) and the ABS control is not entered.
-
When the brake pedal is depressed strongly over a certain level.
-
When the friction of the road surface is above a certain level.
BAS operation off
-

The system may not operate depending on driver's driving habit, the degree to which the brake pedal is depressed and the road surface condition.
