FEATURES
IMPROVED BRAKING PERFORMANCE
- A 8+9 inch tandem brake booster has been adopted to provide sufficient braking force in sudden braking range.
- Front ventilate disc brakes have been adopted to provide stabled braking force and improved braking feel. <Except for Hong Kong spec. (2000-DOHC), South Africa and Argentina>
- 2-piston front ventilate disc brakes have been adopted to provide stable braking force, improved braking feel, and fade-resistant characteristics. <Vehicles for Hong Kong spec. (2000-DOHC), South Africa and Argentina>
- 9-inch leading trailing-type rear drum brakes have been adopted to provide sufficient braking force in sudden braking range. <Except for Hong Kong spec. (2000-DOHC, 2400), South Africa, Argentina, Australia and New Zealand>
- 14-inch solid disk brakes have been adopted to provide stable braking force and fade-resistant characteristics. <Vehicles for Hong Kong spec. (2000-DOHC, 2400), South Africa, Argentina, Australia and New Zealand (2400)>
IMPROVED STABILITY
- A 4-wheel anti-skid braking system (4ABS) has been adopted to prevent slipping caused by the vehicle wheels locking up, in order to maintain an appropriate braking distance, and also to maintain a stable vehicle posture and steering performance.
- An electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) which makes it possible to maintain the maximum amount of braking force even when the vehicle's load is unevenly distributed. <Vehicles with ABS>
- A rear wheel early lock-prevention proportioning valve has been adopted. <Vehicles without ABS>
- Front- and rear-wheel X-type brake line layout has been adopted.
- Ventilated discs have been adopted for front brakes in order to improve anti-fading performance.
- A brake pedal retraction suppression structure that restrains the retraction of the brake pedal and reduces the shock to the feet of the driver in the event of a frontal collision has been adopted.
IMPROVED SERVICEABILITY
- A diagnosis function has been adopted for the ABS system in order to make inspection easier. <Vehicles with ABS>
- For the front and rear disc brakes, an outer disc separated hub and rotor has been adopted to make removal and installation easier.
- The master cylinder reservoir tank cap has been colored white to make identification easier.
- The ABS-ECU and hydraulic unit have been integrated to make them more compact and light weight.
