Section 4 (Disc): Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mitsubishi Galant. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The brake system has been designed to give greater reliability and durability and to provide excellent braking performance. Features are:

An 8+9 inch tandem brake booster provides sufficient braking force in sudden braking range.
15-inch front ventilated disc brakes provide stable braking force and improved braking feel (on vehicles with 2.4L engine).
16-inch front ventilated disc brakes provide stable braking force and improved braking feel (on vehicles with 3.8L engine).
14-inch rear solid disc brakes are used.
A 4-wheel anti-lock braking system prevents slipping caused by the vehicle wheels locking up, in order to maintain a stable vehicle posture and steering performance.
Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD) makes it possible to maintain the maximum amount of braking force even when the vehicle's load is unevenly distributed.
A rear wheel early lock prevention proportioning valve is used.
Front and rear wheel X-type brake line layout is used.
Ventilated discs on the front brakes improve anti-fading performance.

The parking brakes are a mechanical rear wheel brake design and controlled by a lever.
