Hydraulic system
The hydraulic system consists of two diagonally divided circuits.
Pressure limiting valve
This valve regulates the pressure in the rear brake circuit to prevent the wheels from locking up during heavy braking.
Servo brake booster
The servo booster uses the difference between intake manifold pressure and atmospheric pressure to boost the brakes.
Hand brake
The handbrake operates only on the rear brakes using a cable.
Maintenance
After repairing any part of the brake system, road test the brakes. Check the operation of the brakes at different speeds and with different pressure on the brake pedal.
