General Description

GENERAL DESCRIPTION





The brake system has been designed to give greater reliability and durability and to provide excellent braking performance.

FEATURES
Improved braking performance
1. A 10-inch brake booster has been adopted provide large braking force with a small pedal depression force.
2. 14-inch front ventilate disc brakes have been adopted to provide stable braking force an improved braking feel.
3. 8-inch leading trailing-type rear drum brakes have been adopted.

Improved stability
1. A 4-Wheel Anti-Lock Braking System (4ABS) been adopted to prevent slipping caused by the vehicle wheels locking up in order to maintain an appropriate braking distance, and also to maintain a stable vehicle posture and steel performance.
2. Adoption of an Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD) which makes it possible to maintain maximum amount of braking force even when the vehicle's load is unevenly distributed.
3. A rear wheel early lock-prevention proportioning valve has been adopted.
4. Front- and rear-wheel X-type brake line layout has been adopted.
5. Ventilated discs have been adopted for front brakes in order to improve anti-fading performance.

Improved serviceability
1. A diagnosis function has been adopted for the ABS system in order to make inspection easier.
2. For the front disc brakes, an outer disc method separated hub and rotor has been adopted to make removal and installation easier.
3. The master cylinder reservoir tank cap has been colored white to make identification easier.
4. The ABS-ECU and hydraulic unit have been integrated to make them more compact and light weight.
