Warning: When replacing the brake pads, do not unscrew the brake hose 1.
Warning: Before screwing in bolt 6, clean the ribbed base of the bolt head.
Warning: Spring 9 is installed in two holes in the caliper.
Warning: If replacement is necessary, replace both front brake discs 10. The caliper must be removed before removing the brake disc.
According to its purpose and functions, the brake system is divided into working, spare, parking and emergency. The service brake system regulates the speed of the vehicle and stops it with the necessary efficiency. The spare system is used to stop the car with the necessary efficiency in case of failure of the service brake system. The parking system is used to keep the car motionless relative to the road. It is mainly used to hold a standing car, but it can also be used as an emergency in case of failure of the working brake system.
The car uses a working brake system with hydraulic drive and diagonal separation of circuits, which significantly increases the safety of driving a car. If one of the circuits fails, the second circuit is used as a spare brake system, which ensures that the car stops with sufficient efficiency.
The braking system consists of a master cylinder, a vacuum brake booster and disc brakes on the front and rear wheels.
The brake fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment above the brake master cylinder and supplies the brake system and clutch with brake fluid. The vacuum brake booster reduces the force on the brake pedal, thereby making driving easier.
The brake mechanism of the front wheel is disc with a movable caliper. It fits well into the wheel, has a small number of parts, including seals and a small mass. Since heat transfer occurs through one cylinder, the brake fluid heats up less.
The hand brake acts on the rear wheels through a cable drive.
Warning: Brake pads produce brake dust, which contains asbestos, which is harmful to health, so do not use compressed air or inhale the dust when cleaning brake pads.
Warning: When driving on wet roads, it is recommended to depress the brake pedal from time to time to remove harmful inclusions from the brake discs. Due to centrifugal force, water is discharged from the brake discs during movement, but a thin film of fats, silicones, rubber residues, grease and dirt remains on them, which reduce braking efficiency. When stopping the vehicle after driving in the rain at the end of the journey, it is recommended to dry the brakes by depressing the brake pedal.
Warning: After installing new brake pads, they must be run in. For the first 200 km of run, it is not recommended to make maximum braking without the need.
Warning: Corroded brake discs cause a vibration effect when braking, which does not disappear with prolonged braking. In this case, the brake discs must be replaced.
Warning: The brake fluid used in the hydraulic brake system is poisonous, so if it comes into contact with the skin, immediately wash the area with plenty of water. If the liquid accidentally gets into the eyes or inside the body, you should immediately consult a doctor. Some fluids tend to be highly flammable and can ignite even from contact with hot vehicle components. In addition, brake fluid dissolves paint and plastic, so if fluid comes into contact with the car's paintwork, wash it with plenty of water. Also, this liquid is hygroscopic, that is, it absorbs moisture from the air, and therefore it is not recommended to use liquid stored for a long time in an open container.
Warning: Brake fluid must not come into contact with mineral oils. Even a small amount of mineral oil damages the brake fluid and brake system.
