| In a situation that requires emergency braking, BAS instantly increases the car's braking power to shorten braking distance. |
 |
| To prevent an accident in an emergency situation that requires a sudden stop, BAS automatically increases braking power to prevent an accident. |
 |
 |
| There are two types of BAS, Mechanical BAS and Electronic BAS, in BAS. |
 Mechabical BAS (2 RATIO BOOSTER) |
 |
BAS is applied together with ABS. BAS is a device developed to produce more braking power with a lower level
of applied brake pressure in a time of emergency. In a sudden stop situation, weaker drivers may not be able to
apply enough pressure to the brake pedal. BAS can be of great help in such a situation. |
|
 |
| As shown in Figure 2, BAS generates the braking power similar to that of traditional brake systems under ordinary conditions. But in an emergency, it produces greater braking power than traditional systems. |
* A pedal pressure to generate the braking power of "A"
- The existing ordinary system: B
- BAS: C That is, the driver can get the braking power of "A" with an applied brake pressure that is smaller by
(B-C). |
| Electronic BAS |
| Internal brake fluid pressure sensors determine whether emergency braking is required.
When it determines emergency braking is required, HECU of ESP forcibly and rapidly increases the brake fluid pressure
to initiate braking. |
