| Description and Operation WARNING:Brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. Avoid contact with the eyes. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. If brake fluid contacts the eyes, flush the eyes for 15 minutes with cold running water. Get medical attention if irritation persists. If taken internally, drink water and induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury. The braking system is a diagonally split, dual circuit design featuring front and rear disc brakes as standard. The hydraulic system provides separate circuits for each pair of diagonally opposed wheels (left front, right rear and right front, left rear). The front calipers, mounted on the wheel knuckle, are of single sliding piston design which make sure that equal effort is applied through both brake pads. The rear calipers are of a single piston, floating caliper design. The pads in all cases are asbestos free. The parking brake control is located between the front seats and operates the rear brakes through a cable system. The cable features automatic adjustment through a ratchet and pawl mechanism on the parking brake control. The master cylinder is of a tandem design and is linked to a brake booster to reduce the brake pedal effort. The tandem design will make sure that in the event of one brake circuit failure the other will remain fully operational. The master cylinder and brake booster are located on the left - hand side of the engine compartment. For left - hand drive vehicles the booster operating rod is connected directly to the brake pedal. For right - hand drive vehicles a connecting tube attaches the brake pedal to the booster and is located on the engine side of the bulkhead. |
