Brakes and Traction Control: Description and Operation

GENERAL INFORMATION
Brake systems with higher reliability and durability have achieved distinguished braking performance.

FEATURES

IMPROVEMENT OF BRAKING PERFORMANCE
^ In addition to the 10-inch single brake booster, the small and long stroke-type master cylinder is used to achieve the downsizing and secure the assist force.
^ The installation of 16-inch ventilated disc brake on the front axle and 16-inch solid disc brake on the rear axle achieves the secure braking force and direct braking feeling.

IMPROVEMENT IN SAFETY
^ The 4-wheel anti-lock brake system (4ABS) has been installed to prevent slippage resulting from the wheel lock and assure stable vehicle posture and driveability.
^ Electronic control braking force distribution system (EBD) has been adopted to assure the maximum braking force independently of the passenger' position in the vehicle.
^ X-type piping of brake lines have been adopted for the front and rear wheels.
^ Audible wear indicator has been adopted to the front and rear brake pads to warn the driver of the wear limit.

SERVICE QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS
^ Diagnostic function has been adopted to ABS for easier inspection.
^ Brake fluid reservoir, master cylinder, and brake booster have been integrated for downsizing and better serviceability.
