WARNING!

The BAS cannot prevent the natural laws of phys-

ics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase
the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions.

The BAS cannot prevent collisions, including those

resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on
very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.

The capabilities of a BAS-equipped vehicle must

never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous
manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety or
the safety of others.

Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM)

This system anticipates the potential for wheel lift by
monitoring the driver’s steering wheel input and the
speed of the vehicle. When ERM determines that the rate
of change of the steering wheel angle and vehicle’s speed
are sufficient to potentially cause wheel lift, it then
applies the appropriate brake and may also reduce
engine power to lessen the chance that wheel lift will
occur. ERM will only intervene during very severe or
evasive driving maneuvers.

ERM can only reduce the chance of wheel lift occurring
during severe or evasive driving maneuvers. It cannot
prevent wheel lift due to other factors, such as road
conditions, leaving the roadway, or striking objects or
other vehicles.
