POWER BRAKE UNIT CONSTRUCTION

• A 10-inch, single diaphragm type power brake unit has been adopted for all models, achieving compatibility between high braking performance and excellent brake feeling.
With ABS
• The structure of the brake assist function, built into the power brake unit, is simple and mechanical to ensure a high level of reliability.
-
― The brake assist function operates by aiding braking operation during emergency braking or other times when a high amount of brake power is required.
― Inexperienced drivers or drivers who panic during emergency braking may apply the brakes quickly but without sufficient force, or they may apply sufficient force but cannot maintain it for a continuous period. In such cases, the brake performance of the vehicle cannot be provided sufficiently.
― The brake assist function determines emergency braking based on the brake pedal depression speed and force. If emergency braking occurs, the greater than normal brake pedal depression force is transmitted to the master cylinder to provide maximum braking force.
• With the adoption of a brake assist function including ABS during emergency braking, effectiveness has been further improved.
