Brake System (06.00)
Power Brake System (06.07)
Brake Booster
The brake booster comprises a chamber divided by a diap hragm plate and is secured to the brake pedal housing.
As the brake pedal is pressed, a poppet valve opens allowing at mospheric pressure into the drivers side of the diaphragm.
Atmospheric pressure builds up on the drivers side of the diaphragm and pushes against the partial vacuum on the other
side. This additional force boosts the a pplied brake pedal force up to 6.5 times.
When the brake pedal is released, the poppet valve closes. The pressure on the diaphragm reduces and the compression
spring returns the diaphragm to the release position.
Emergency Brake Assist
In an emergency braking situation, a driver presses down on the brake pedal much faster than in normal braking
conditions, but often without sufficient force. The initial appli cation of the brake pedal is a reflex reaction. After the initial
application, many drivers do not brake ha rd enough because of concerns that they might cause the vehicle to skid. To aid
the driver, the panic brake assist (PBA) intervenes in bringing the vehicle to a halt, sooner and in a controlled manner, in
emergency braking situation. The PBA system monitors the speed of brake pedal activation, and at a calibrated pedal
activation speed, the PBA provides maximum brake force and makes full use of the ABS.
PBA is controlled by the ABS/DSC module, which monitors a travel sensor attached to the internal vacuum diaphragm of
the brake booster. The sensor determines the position of th e diaphragm and the speed of the diaphragm movement. If the
sensor's signal indicates an emergency braking situation, the
ABS/DSC module will open an electric solenoid on the brake booster. The solenoid directs atmospheric pressure into the
rear of the brake booster, causing the booster diaphragm to mo ve forward to fully apply the brakes. PBA takes full benefit
of ABS to stop the vehicle in a controlled manner and in the shortest distance possible. When the brake pedal is released
the ABS/DSC module instantly releases the brakes.

Engine Intervention
In the event of wheel-slip the ABS / DSC module calculates
the torque, which should be applied by the engine to reduce
the wheel-slip (this torque does not exceed driver demand).
Engine torque reduction is then requested from the PCM via
the CAN bus. The PCM, in response to these signals, reduces
engine torque by controlling the ignition and fuelling. A
traction control gearshift pattern is automatically selected
within the automatic transmission software whenever
traction control is active.
Brake Intervention
This function operates by increasing the pressure in the
brake caliper of the slipping wheel, by closing the separation
valve and the inlet valve of the non-slipping wheel and
running the modulator pump. This takes fluid from the fluid
reservoir via the non-actuated master cylinder and
pressurizes the brake caliper. The pressure is modulated at
the caliper via the inlet and outlet valves to achieve the
desired wheel-slip target to maximize traction.
