According to its purpose and functions, the brake system includes working, spare, parking and emergency systems. The service brake system regulates the speed of the vehicle and stops it with the necessary efficiency. The spare system is used to stop the car in case of failure of the service brake system. The parking system is used to keep the car stationary on the road. It is mainly used to hold a standing car, but can also be used as an emergency in case of failure of the working brake system.
The car is equipped with a service brake system with a hydraulic drive with a booster and with a diagonal separation of circuits, which significantly increases the safety of driving. If one of the circuits fails, the second circuit is used as a spare brake system, which ensures that the car stops with sufficient efficiency.
The braking system of the car uses disc brakes on the front wheels and drum brakes on the rear wheels.
The brake fluid reservoir, located in the engine compartment above the master brake cylinder, supplies the brake system and hydraulic clutch release with brake fluid. The vacuum brake booster increases the force applied to the brake pedal, thereby making driving easier.
The parking brake acts on the rear wheels via a cable drive.
When servicing any part of the system, work carefully and methodically: maintain cleanliness while repairing any part of the brake system. Always replace parts when in doubt about their condition, and use only original parts, or at least those that you are sure of.
