Diameter

The front and rear linings are driven by hydraulic pistons
controlled by a double circuit master cylinder. This master
cylinder, which includes a brake fluid tank in its upper section,
is controlled from inside the vehicle by a pedal within reach of
the driver's right foot. An inhibitor allows automatic reduction of
braking efficiency on the rear axle.
•Hand brake and parking brake
A lever located within reach of the driver's right hand,
between the vehicle's two seats, mechanically activates the
rear brakes, by means of a cross-bar and two cables. This
brake is adjusted mechanically via a screw on each rear
wheel or the cross-bar. A ratchet maintains this brake in the
applied position.
If the service brake fails (soft pedal, for example), use
the emergency brake and call an approved repairer.
