Build-up of partial vacuum

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW X3, 2016 BMW X3, 2015 BMW X3, 2014 BMW X3, and 2013 BMW X3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

For the first stage, the largest portion of the spatial enlargement (discharging) is used, thus building up the partial vacuum quickly for the brake servo. Only in the last section is the opening released for the additional loads, i.e. the second stage is activated. Building up the partial vacuum for the additional loads takes longer, as shown in the following diagram.
