Hydraulic Brake Actuation (G2163191): Overview

The hydraulic brake system is a diagonally split, dual circuit system.

The hydraulic brake system consists of the following components:

• Brake pedal
• Brake master cylinder
• Fluid reservoir
• Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU)
• Brake pipes and hoses.

The preformed rigid brake pipes distribute pressure from the brake master cylinder to flexible hoses via the integrated HCU and Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) control module. The flexible hoses are connected to the front and rear brake calipers.
