3026100 - Introduction - BRAKING SYSTEM
CONSTRUCTION FEATURES
This braking system consists of two independent cross-over hydraulic circuits (that affect one front and one rear wheel respectively, e.g. right front with left rear). This allows braking on both sides of the car if the braking circuit one one wheel is faulty, so that stability can be maintained.All versions are equipped with ventilated brake discs on the front wheels, except the 1.6 ECO which comes with solid discs all round.All versions are equipped with Bosch 5.7 A.B.S. anti-lock brakes with four active sensors and four separate channels, plus EBD function (electronic brakeforce distribution between front and rear wheels) Characteristic of working principle 3340 A(B.S. ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM .).The main feature of the active sensor is the fact that the signal is processed directly by the sensor instead of being sent to the ABS control unit so that the system can cut in immediately.Further electronic systems are added on different versions. These include:
- ASR, active slip regulation during acceleration
- VDC, vehicle dynamic control of stability
