Vehicles without ABS are equipped with brake
pressure reduction valves for the rear wheel
brakes. They are located in the corresponding
brake circuits at the brake master cylinder.
Vehicles with ABS do not need brake pressure
reduction valves because they are equipped with
electronic brake distribution (EBD).
The handbrake is cable operated on the rear
brakes.
On vehicles with a petrol engine the necessary
vacuum for the brake booster is generated by the
intake manifold.
On vehicles with a diesel engine, a vacuum pump
driven by the engine provides the necessary
vacuum for the brake booster.
