Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Brake System
The vehicle is equipped with a vacuum-assisted power braking system. Refer to POWER BRAKE ACTUATION article.
The braking system is a front-to-rear split hydraulic system. Refer to HYDRAULIC BRAKE ACTUATION article.
The front brakes use a dual piston brake caliper and disc brake system. Refer to FRONT DISC BRAKE article.
The rear brakes use a single piston brake caliper and disc brake system. Refer to REAR DISC BRAKE article.
The parking brake system is a mechanical system that activates a shoe-and-drum system within the rear brake disc. Refer to PARKING BRAKE AND ACTUATION article.
A 4-wheel anti-lock brake system (4WABS) is standard equipment. Traction control is optional. Refer to VEHICLE DYNAMIC SYSTEMS article.
The vehicle has an optional adjustable brake pedal to increase driver comfort. The brake pedal position is changed in phase with the accelerator pedal. The system is adjusted by pressing the dash-mounted switch that powers the adjustable pedal motor mounted on the accelerator pedal assembly. The 2-way motor operates backward (toward the driver) or forward (away from the driver) to adjust the accelerator pedal directly and the brake pedal through the drive cable attached to the brake pedal assembly.
