The Braking System

Brake System Design

The hydraulic system that operates

the brakes has two separate circuits.
Each circuit works diagonally across
the car (the left-front brake is

connected with the right-rear brake,
etc.). If one circuit should develop a

problem, you will still have braking
at two wheels.

Anti-lock Brakes

Your car has an Anti-lock Brake

System (ABS) as standard
equipment. ABS helps to prevent the
wheels from locking up and skidding

during hard braking, allowing you to
retain steering control.

When the front tires skid, you lose

steering control; the car continues
straight ahead even though you turn

the steering wheel. The ABS helps to
prevent lock-up and helps you retain

steering control by pumping the
brakes rapidly; much faster than a
person can do it.
