184000317 - INTRODUCTION - BRAKING SYSTEM

CONSTRUCTION FEATURES

The braking system is the dual circuit cross-over type which, in the case of a circuit failure, allows braking on both sides of the vehicle. Each circuit acts on one front wheel and the diagonally opposite rear wheel.- All left-hand drive versions are fitted with a 10' brake servo; right-hand drive versions with 9'.The brake pump is made from aluminium to be lighter.Given the difference in weight and power of the different engine types, the braking systems differ as follows:

1.2 16v and 1.4 16v petrol versions and 1.3 multijet diesel versions:

• ventilated disc of 257 x 22 mm diameter
• ZOH Bosch brake calipers with 54 mm diameter piston,
• brake pad surface area 43 cm²
• rear drum diameter 203 mm

1.9 JTD diesel engine:

• ventilated disc of diameter 284 x 22 mm
• ZOH Bosch brake calipers with 54 mm diameter piston
