General Description

Brakes Construction

S6JB0A4101001

When the foot brake pedal is depressed, hydraulic pressure is developed in the master cylinder (2) 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 and rear left brakes and the other connects front left and rear right 
brakes.
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 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 shoes are used for both parking and foot brakes.

NOTE
The difference between RHD model and LHD model the location of the brake master and the brake 
booster only.
