All brakes are self-adjusting: wear of the brake pads on both the front and rear wheels is compensated for automatically.
The hydraulic system operates separately along the diagonal of the vehicle: the left front - right rear wheels and the right front - left rear wheels are included in independent circuits.
Master cylinder
The master brake cylinder is located under the hood and is mounted on the brake booster. The master cylinder has a reservoir with brake fluid. The master cylinder has a primary and secondary piston.
Brake force regulator (proportional valve)
The regulator is mounted on the tunnel of the right wheel strut. It includes two valves, one for each circuit.
The regulator is designed to prevent rear wheel locking during emergency braking. During normal braking, the pressure in the system is proportional to the pedal position. The brake force regulator is not repairable - if it fails, it must be replaced.
Brake booster
The brake booster is mounted on the rear wall of the engine compartment. The braking force is increased by the pressure difference between the intake manifold and the atmosphere.
Parking brake
The parking brake acts only on the rear wheels and is mechanically controlled.
Attention! Observe the following rules when servicing the brake system:
- a) Use brake fluid with DOT3 specification only.
- b) Brake pads may contain asbestos, which can be hazardous to your health. Do not use compressed air to clean the brakes. Flush the brakes with denatured alcohol.
- c) Remember: brake serviceability is paramount! Do not install substandard parts, adjust brakes correctly and observe the tightening forces of threaded connections. If you are not confident in your abilities, contact professionals.
