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.

Anti-lock Brakes

U.S. EX, and Canadian LX and EX

models

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 vehicle

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.
