Volvo XC90: Starting and driving / Brake Assist System
The brake enhancing system, (BAS1), helps increase braking force
and can thereby reduce braking distance.
The system monitors the driver's braking habits and increases braking force when
necessary. Braking force can be increased up to the point at which the ABS intervenes.
NOTE
When BAS is activated, depress and hold down the brake pedal as long as
needed.
