Mercedes-Benz GLC : Driving and driving safety systems / Function of BAS
The Brake Assist System (BAS) supports your
emergency braking situation with additional
brake force.
If you depress the brake pedal quickly, BAS is
activated:

The brakes will function as usual once you
release the brake pedal. BAS is deactivated.
