General Description
Brakes Construction
S6RW0C4101001
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. Brake pipes are connected to the master cylinder and they make two
independent circuits. One connects front right & rear left brakes and the other connects front left & rear right brakes.
In this brake system, the disc brake is used for the front wheel brake and disc brake or drum brake (leading / trailing
shoes) for the rear brake.
The parking brake system is mechanical. It applies brake force to only rear wheels by means of the cable and
mechanical linkage system. The same brake pads (or brake shoes) of rear disc brake (or rear drum brake) are used
for both parking and foot brakes.
NOTE
• The figures show LH steering vehicle.
• The difference between RH steering vehicle and LH steering vehicle is the location of the brake
master cylinder and the brake booster only.
