DESCRIPTION
The hydraulic brake system consists of the following main components:
^ Tandem master cylinder with fluid reservoir
^ Two four-piston front brake calipers
^ Two two-piston rear brake calipers
^ Two ventilated front brake discs
^ Two solid rear brake discs
^ Two parking brake calipers.
^ Pedal box
^ Vacuum servo unit

The above components provide the vehicle with a dual braking system in which front and rear caliper assemblies are totally independent of each other. In the event of a brake line failure, or partial loss of fluid, one pair of brake calipers will remain operative.
