Outline
A brake pedal with an intrusion minimizing mechanism has been adopted. As a result, driver safety has been improved.
A small diameter long-stroke type master cylinder has been adopted, improving operability and response.
A vacuum pump has been adopted, improving braking force.
A large diameter, ventilated disc-type front brake has been adopted, improving braking force.
A large diameter, solid disc-type rear brake has been adopted, improving braking force.

Traction Control System (TCS)
The Traction Control System (TCS) enhances traction and safety by controlling
engine torque and braking.
When the TCS detects driving wheel slippage, it lowers engine torque and operates
the brakes to prevent loss of traction.
This means that on a slick surface, the engine adjusts automaticall ...
