Brake system
The tandem master cylinder brake system
has two separate sub-systems. If either sub
system should fail, the other will still work.
However, the pedal will be harder to press,
and your stopping distance will be increasing.
CAUTION
Do not drive your vehicle with only a
single brake system. Have your brakes
fixed immediately.
Brake booster
The brake booster uses engine vacuum to
power the brakes. If the engine should quit
while you are driving, you can bring the
vehicle to a stop with more pedal pressure.
CAUTION
●
Do not push the brake pedal if the
engine stalls. Each push on the pedal
uses up your reserved vacuum.
●
Even if the power assist is
completely lost, the brakes will still
work. But you will have to push the
pedal hard, much harder than normal.
And your braking distance will
increase.
Anti-lock brake system (with “ABS”
warning light)
