Brake Master Cylinder And Fluid Reservoir
NOTE:
left-hand drive (LHD) installation shown, right-hand drive (RHD) installation is opposite hand.
The brake booster and master cylinder assembly is fitted in the engine compartment. The brake master cylinder housing consists of two hydraulic chambers containing two pistons in tandem. The primary piston (adjacent to the brake booster) produces pressure for the primary braking circuit and this pressure acts on the secondary piston and hence creates pressure in the secondary circuit. A brake fluid reservoir is mounted on top of the master cylinder to provide a supply of brake fluid to the brake system. The reservoir cap is fitted with a brake fluid level switch.
