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.
The
Braking
System
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.
