System description, brakes
The brake system, with integrated Electronic brake force distribution (EBD) function, has undergone major changes compared to the previous models. The type designation is Mark 20, manufactured by ITT (TEVES).
The most important changes are:
- Diagonally split circuit brakes (LF+RR, RF+LR).
- Each wheel is individually controlled.
- New master brake cylinder (equal amounts of brake fluid in both circuits).
- Servo cylinder with pedal position sensor (The sensor is connected to the engine control module (ECM)).
- ABS hydraulic modulator (2 valves have been introduced in some versions).
- New wheel speed sensors (Active sensors).
- 48 tooth mechanical pulse wheels (one for each wheel).
- Control module, connected to the network (3 different versions available).
The system can be complemented with a stability and traction control, Traction control alternatively STC.
