Disc & Drum: Description

All models are equipped with front disc brakes. Rear brakes are leading/trailing type drum or disc brakes. On all models except Justy, parking brake is mechanically actuated on FRONT brakes.

Manual transaxle models except Justy are equipped with Hill-Holder. Hill-Holder is incorporated into primary brake line from master cylinder. The Hill-Holder is used to permit easy starting while on a hill. Hill-Holder uses a Pressure Hold Valve (PHV) to control fluid flow to and from brakes until clutch pedal is released. PHV is linked to clutch pedal and is also controlled by gravity.
