LS Performance

The LS is equipped with four-wheel ventilated disc brakes that feature Electronic Controlled Braking (ECB), which is a vital component of the Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) [1] system. ECB uses an electronic system to activate the brakes, utilizing a brake-pedal-position sensor to read the pedal's position and activate the master cylinder accordingly. Both the front and rear brakes are ventilated to help provide superior stopping performance. For the performance driver, the available larger high-friction brake [2] pads yield a higher coefficient of friction on the rotors to help provide even faster braking response.

The LS comes equipped with a brake hold system which, when activated, holds the vehicle in place once stopped with no need to keep your foot on the brake pedal. This prevents the LS from creeping forward or backward when stopped. The LS brakes are even impressive after your drive is done. An electronic parking brake is automatically activated as soon as the LS is placed in “Park.”  When you shift out of this gear, the parking brake is automatically deactivated.
