The Braking System

Brake System Design

The hydraulic system that operates

the brakes has two separate circuits.
Each circuit works diagonally across
the vehicle (the left-front brake is
connected with the right-rear brake,
etc.). If one circuit should develop a
problem, you will still have braking
at two wheels.

Front

Anti-lock Brakes

The Integra LS, GS, GS-R and
Type-R models have an Anti-lock

Brake System (ABS) as standard
equipment.

ABS helps to prevent the wheels
from locking up and skidding during

hard braking, allowing you to retain
steering control.

When the front tires skid, you lose

steering control; the car continues
straight ahead even though you turn
the steering wheel. The ABS helps to
prevent lock-up and helps you retain
steering control by pumping the
brakes rapidly; much faster than a
person can do it.
