BRAKE BOOSTER
9-inch brake booster has been installed. The brake
booster employs a variable amplification ratio mech
-
anism that varies amplifications ratios so that even
small pedal force can provide great breaking force.
PARKING BRAKE

The parking brake is of a mechanical rear-wheel act-
ing type, and its operation utilises a parking brake
lever.

TECHNICAL FEATURES
GENERAL00-17

Employment of the parking brake pedal clears front
centre space to allow a walk through design.
PUSH-ON/PUSH-RELEASE type pedal has been
installed for easier operation.
The parking brake pedal retreat suppression mecha-
nism that restraints the retraction of the brake pedal
during collision has been adopted in order to reduce
the shock to the driver's feet. The mechanism of the
parking brake pedal is basically the same as that of
the brake pedal.
