Foundation Brakes: General

The brake system is a dual circuit type with Electronic Brake Force distribution (EBD) through DSC/ABS control. The system comprises:

• Vacuum booster
• Tandem master cylinder with two central valves for DSC operation
• Brake fluid reservoir with reed contact fluid level switch
• Vented front discs/Solid rear discs
• Single piston calipers
• ABS hydraulic unit with integrated control module
• Pre-charge pump for DSC operation.

The front brakes each comprise a hub mounted, single piston calliper assembly and a vented disc. The inboard side of the disc is protected by a mud-shield. When hydraulic pressure is supplied to the calliper, the piston extends and forces the inner pad against the disc. The calliper body reacts and slides on the guide pins to bring the outer pad into contact with the disc.

The rear brakes each comprise a hub mounted, single piston calliper assembly and a solid disc. The operation is the same as for the front brakes.
