CONVENTIONAL BRAKE SYSTEM

id041100702300

Conventional Brake System

Outline

•  An anti-intrusion brake pedal has been adopted to the brake pedal. As a result, improved driver safety during a frontal collision has been realized.

•  A large diameter, ventilated disc-type front brake has been adopted, improving braking force.

•  A large diameter, solid disc-type rear brake has been adopted, improving braking force.

Front Brake (Disc)

Purpose, function

•  For the front brake (disc), a ventilated-type disc with a 295 mm {11.6 in} diameter and a 25 mm {0.98 in} thickness has been adopted to enhance braking force and fade resistance.

Construction

Operation

•  When brake fluid is applied, the piston equipped on one side of the caliper is pushed out and the brake pad is pressed against the disc plate. At the same time, the caliper body moves in the direction opposite to the direction in which the piston moves so as to press the brake pad on the other side against the disc brake and the brake is applied.

Rear Brake (Disc)

Purpose, function

•  For the rear brake (disc), a solid disc-type with a 265 mm {10.4 in} diameter and a 9 mm {0.4 in} thickness (2WD), 303 mm {11.9 in} diameter and a 10 mm {0.39 in} thickness (AWD) has been adopted to enhance braking force and fade resistance.

•  A brake caliper with an integrated motor has been adopted which enables brake force for the hydraulic brake system or the electric parking brake.

•  For details on the brake force by the electric parking brake, refer to the [ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE MOTOR GEAR UNIT]. (See ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE MOTOR GEAR UNIT.)

Operation

•  When brake fluid is applied, the piston equipped on one side of the caliper is pushed out and the brake pad is pushed against the disc plate. At the same time, the caliper body moves in the direction opposite of the direction in which the piston is pushed out so as to push the brake pad on the other side and generate brake force.
