Electronic Brake Control (Ebc) System - Dodge CHARGER 2020 Owner's Manual

106 SAFETY
Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light
The yellow "Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light" will
turn on when the ignition is placed in the ON/
RUN mode and may stay on for as long as four
seconds.
If the "Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light" remains
on or comes on while driving, it indicates that
the anti-lock portion of the brake system is not
functioning and that service is required.
However, the conventional brake system will
continue to operate normally if the "Anti-Lock
Brake Warning Light" is on.
If the "Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light" is on, the
brake system should be serviced as soon as
possible to restore the benefits of anti-lock
brakes. If the "Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light"
does not come on when the ignition is placed in
the ON/RUN mode, have the light repaired as
soon as possible.

Electronic Brake Control (EBC) System

Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced
Electronic Brake Control (EBC) system. This
system includes Electronic Brake Force
Distribution (EBD), Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS), Brake Assist System (BAS), Hill Start
Assist (HSA), Traction Control System (TCS),
Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and Electronic
Roll Mitigation (ERM). These systems work
together to enhance both vehicle stability and
control in various driving conditions.
Your vehicle may also be equipped with Ready
Alert Braking (RAB), and Rain Brake Support
(RBS).
Brake Assist System (BAS)
The Brake Assist System (BAS) is designed to
optimize the vehicle's braking capability during
emergency braking maneuvers. The system
detects an emergency braking situation by
sensing the rate and amount of brake
application and then applies optimum pressure
to the brakes. This can help reduce braking
distances. The BAS complements the Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS). Applying the brakes very
quickly results in the best BAS assistance. To
receive the benefit of the system, you must
apply continuous braking pressure during the
stopping sequence (do not "pump" the brakes).
Do not reduce brake pedal pressure unless
braking is no longer desired. Once the brake
pedal is released, the BAS is deactivated.
WARNING!
The Brake Assist System (BAS) cannot
prevent the natural laws of physics from
acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the
traction afforded by prevailing road
conditions. 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.
Brake System Warning Light
The red "Brake System Warning Light" will turn
on when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
mode and may stay on for as long as four
seconds.
If the "Brake System Warning Light" remains on
or comes on while driving, it indicates that the
brake system is not functioning properly and
that immediate service is required. If the "Brake
System Warning Light" does not come on when
the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN mode,
have the light repaired as soon as possible.
