Brakes and Traction Control: Description and Operation

GENERAL INFORMATION
The brake system has high reliability and durability, and provides an exceptional braking performance.

FEATURES

IMPROVED BRAKING PERFORMANCE
^ In addition to the 10-inch through bolt type single brake booster, the small and long stroke-type master cylinder is adopted to provide rigidity, to reduce weight, and to secure the assist force.
^ Brembo(TM) 18-inch 4-pot front ventilated disk brakes and Brembo(TM) 17-inch 2-pot rear ventilated disk brakes are adopted to provide stable braking force and improved braking feel.
^ To the front, two-piece structure brake disk is installed. [GSR: Option, MR: Standard]

IMPROVED STABILITY
^ Front- and rear-wheel X-type brake line layout is used.
^ The brake pedal retreat suppression mechanism that suppresses the retraction of brake pedal surface upon a frontal collision is adopted.
^ To the front brake and rear brake, the brake pads with audible wear indicator are adopted which warn the driver of the wear limit.
