GENERAL DESCRIPTION
When the foot brake pedal is depressed, hydraulic pressure is developed in the master cylinder to actuate pistons
(two in front and four in rear).
The master cylinder is a tandem master cylinder. Four brake pipes are connected to the master cylinder and they
make two independent circuits. One connects the front right & rear left brakes and the other connects the front left
& rear right brakes.
The proportioning valve (P valve) is included in these circuits between the master cylinder and rear wheels.
In this brake system, the disc brake type is used for the front wheel brake and a drum brake type (leading/trailing
shoes) for the rear wheel brake.
The parking brake system is mechanical. It applies brake force to only rear wheels by means of the cable and me-
chanical linkage system. The same brake shoes are used for both parking and foot brakes.
