Braking system

Braking system

The braking system is of four wheel hydraulic type with discs on the front wheels and drums on the rear.

The hydraulic system is of dual-circuit type and incorporates a pressure regulator valve to limit pressure to the rear brakes during heavy braking to prevent rear wheel lock up.

A vacuum servo unit is fitted to some models.

The handbrake is mechanically operated on the rear wheels.
