The Braking System

Brake System Design

The hydraulic system that operates

the brakes has two separate circuits.

Each circuit works diagonally across

the car (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.

Anti-lock Brakes

Your car has 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.
