Brake system
Brake system is a double-loop
hydraulic
system
(X
layout)
equipped with series brake master
cylinder. In the event that one loop
failed, the other loop can still run.
However, brake pedal travel will
increase, and brake distance will
accordingly be lengthened, and
brake warning light will be
lightened.
Warning
●Do not drive while only one
brake loop is running and repair
the brake system as soon as
possible.
Vacuum strengthener
Vacuum strengthener takes the
vacuum from engine inlet manifold
as the strengthening source. In the
event of engine cutoff during the
running process, vacuum in vacuum
strengthener can assure one-time or
twice brakes through ordinary pedal
force.
Warning
●Do not depress the brake pedal
while the engine does not work,
otherwise the vacuum force in
vacuum strengthener will be
exhausted.
●Even if the strengthening force
is lost completely, the brake is
still valid, but pedal force is
comparatively
larger,
which
leads to the increase of brake
distance.
Antilock brake system (ABS) (if
equipped)
ABS is designed for guarding
against tire lock in the event of
urgent brake or brake on smooth
roads, and it helps greatly improve
automobile brake system’s stability
and maneuverability.
Effective method for depressing
brake pedal:
To fully depress the brake pedal in
