Brakes system

The system of brakes of the respected cars is equipped by the amplifier of vacuum that he takes into account frenagem with certain intensity to put the least effort in a pedal of brake, which one would need without amplifier. If the amplifier does not work (in the idle motor or for another reason), the system of brakes of work remains usefulness, nevertheless it will have to continue a pedal of brake with a bigger force and the brake that the way, as a rule, will increase.

In the idle motor for each pressing of a pedal of brake of curbing reductions, therefore, the additional effort is not necessary to pinch a brake pedal in the amplifier of idle vacuum without necessity (for example, in the moment of the deduction of the driving in the way escorregadio).

In case of refusal brakes during the movement that brakes through the parking brake it is allowed, nevertheless it is necessary to be remembered that the brake I walk in this case it will exceed very one more brake I walk always using brakes of work.

The use of the brake of parking in the moment of the movement of the car with a normal speed can cause the loss of driving, therefore, if it is necessary to use the brake of parking for a stop of the movable car, to act specially exactly.


It is not necessary to maintain a leg in a brake pedal in the moment of the movement of the car since it leads to heating and premature use of mechanisms of brake and increase in a brake I walk. In the moment of the movement in a slope they do not use brakes too much much time, instead of that they use the frenagem for the motor, taking notice of the transfers lower. After the movement during a rain, and also after surpassing a water barrier is necessary to dry mechanisms of brake, having held tight lightly his pedal of a brake and property until the brakes productivity does not return at the normal level.

Halls and rear mechanisms of brake

In the cars considered the mechanisms of brake of disc they are installed. The indicators of his use that begin to do a high sound in the moment of the movement or holding tight a pedal of brake are built in brake mistakes if the mistakes demand the substitution. At the same time it is necessary to substitute mistakes whenever possible somewhat to avoid the repair besides more expensive that.

It is not necessary to confuse the operation of indicators of the use of shoes of brake and the scratch of brakes that appear below certain conditions holding tight a pedal of brake.

Parking brake

In the European models the lever of the brake of parking is located in the central consolation, between front seats. To stand up of the parking brake they pull the lever up to an emphasis. Since an otpuskaniye of the brake of parking holds tight the button located in the free end of the lever and lowers the lever down, maintaining the button of the pill.

Do not use the transmission established in the transfer instead of the brake of parking. In the parking certainly lift the brake of parking and it installs it in the selector's LEVER in the situation "P".

In the American models the parking brake happens for a pedal (there sees the illustration the Scheme of an Agreement of Elements of the management of the panel). To stand up of the parking brake they hold tight a pedal of the system of brakes of work and, maintaining it, squeeze out a pedal of the walk of the parking curb and launch a pedal of a brake of work. Since an otpuskaniye of the brake of parking holds tight a pedal of a brake of work, then, maintaining it, hold tight and launch a pedal of the walk of the brake of parking – it will return to the superior situation.

In a stop in the rise park the car since it is possible more near to the sidewalk or an edge of road and spin wheels to the center of the way that in the moment of the chance movement of the car behind dispatch wheels it would rest against the curb.

In a stop in the descent park the car since it is possible more near to the sidewalk or an edge of road and spin wheels to an edge of road that in the moment of the chance movement of the car behind dispatch wheels it would rest against the curb.

In each departure of the check of driving To/L the brakes system (to see the Equipment of the car, an agreement of devices and administrations) – in the lifted KL that parks brake has to burn, and after his otpuskaniye To/L has to go out slowly. If after an otpuskaniye of the brake of parking it links To/L to keep on being burned, it indicates the bad functioning in the system of brakes that has to be repaired before to begin the movement. If To/L illuminated during the movement, gives birth in the first opportunity and removes the bad functioning.

System of antiblockade of brakes (ABS)

The system ABS constantly draws the speed of the rotation of wheels of the car and in the moment of his blockade repeatedly it modulates the hydraulic pressure in the brakes system.

Braking in conditions that can lead to the wheels blockade it is possible to hear click on brake mechanisms or to feel pulsations of pedal of brake. The enumerated phenomena are a consequence of the normal work of the system ABS and they mean his activity. It is not necessary to modify at the same time the effort of the pressure on a brake pedal since it will prevent the system ABS to work with the very efficiency.

It is necessary always to be remembered of the next measures by precaution:

  • Even in the presence of the system ABS the car cannot be stopped immediately, - maintains a safe distance;
  • Always reduce the speed in turns since the system ABS cannot prevent the emergence of the accident in a high speed;
  • When it brakes in the unequal way with ABS it uses the brake the way is longer, of what without use of ABS.
  • Do not neglect the general rules of security of the traffic.

To/L checks the system ABS in the launch of the motor, - it will illuminate during 2-3 seconds, and soon to go out. If To/L does not go out slowly, ABS means that it is defective, at the same time the system of brakes of work can work normally. To/L can gather the system ABS also in the moment of the long frenagem in the way escorregadio. If it took place, give birth and kill the motor. After the rebeginning of the driving KL does not go out, it expels the car in HUNDRED of diagnostic one and elimination of the bad functioning.
