Hydraulic Brake Actuation - Overview (G970077): Overview

The hydraulic brake system is a diagonally split dual line system. The system consists of a brake pedal, vacuum brake booster, brake master cylinder assembly, HCU (hydraulic control unit), hydraulic pipes and brake hoses.

Brake pipes from the master cylinder supply pressure to the brake calipers at the four corners of the vehicle via the HCU. Braided steel hoses are used to connect the brake pipes to the front and rear brake calipers.
