MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE
Clutch & Brakes
Pressure reducing valves are provided on both circuits for the rear
brakes to avoid locking of wheels & skidding of the car.
NOTE : Vacuum Assistance : The hydraulic brake system of your car is
assisted by a vacuum booster which reduced the effort of driver during
braking. In the unlikely event of disruption in supply of vacuum to the
booster (e.g. stoppage of engine, or failure of vacuum hose) this
assistance will still be available but only for one or two brake
applications to bring the vehicle to a stop. Beyond this, vacuum
assistance will not be felt by the driver and brakes will appear to be
hard/ineffective. In order to stop the vehicle effectively the driver will
have to apply a much higher force on the brake pedal (roughly 5 times
the normal effort)
