Brakes and Traction Control: Description and Operation

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. An 8+9 inch tandem brake booster provides sufficient braking force in sudden braking range.

2. 16-inch front ventilated disc brakes provide stable braking force and improved braking feel.

3. 14-inch rear solid disc brakes are used.[2.4L engine]

4. 15-inch rear ventilated disc brakes provide stable braking force and improved braking feel. [3.8L engine]

Improved stability

5. A 4-wheel anti-lock braking system (4ABS) prevents slipping caused by the vehicle wheels locking up, in order to maintain a stable vehicle posture and steering performance.

6. An electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) makes it possible to maintain the maximum amount of braking force even when the vehicle's load is unevenly distributed.

7. Front- and rear-wheel X-type brake line layout are used.

8. Ventilated discs on the front brakes improve anti-fading performance.

9. Ventilated discs on the rear brakes improve anti-fading performance. [3.8L engine]

Improved serviceability

10. A diagnosis function for the ABS and ABS/TCL systems to make inspection easier.

11. An outer disc separated hub and rotor make removal and installation easier.

12. The master cylinder reservoir tank cap is colored white to make identification easier.

13. The ABS-ECU, ABS/TCL-ECU and hydraulic unit are integrated to make them more compact and light-weight.
