Driving your vehicle Brake system
Factors of swaying such as:
䳜 High speed
䳜 Strong crosswinds
䳜 Improper overloading
䳜 Sudden controlling of steering
wheel
䳜 Uneven road
The TSA continuously analyzes the
vehicle and trailer instability. When
the TSA detects some sway, the
brakes are applied automatically to
stabilise the vehicle. When the vehi
-
cle becomes stable, the TSA does
not operate.
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 safety
to use the AEB system.
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
