Brakes and Traction Control: Description and Operation

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

FEATURES

Improved braking performance
1. An 9+10 inch tandem brake booster provides sufficient braking force in sudden braking range.
2. Front ventilated disc brakes have been adopted to provide stabled braking force and improved braking feel.
3. Rear solid disc brakes have been adopted.

Improved stability
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Front- and rear-wheel X-type brake line layout are used.
4. Ventilated discs on the front brakes improve anti-fading performance.

Improved serviceability
1. A diagnosis function for the ABS system makes inspection easier.
2. An outer disc separated hub and rotor make removal and installation easier.
3. The master cylinder reservoir tank cap is colored white to make identification easier.
4. The TCL/ASC-ECU and hydraulic unit are integrated to make them more compact and light weight.
