All models described in this manual are equipped with a dual-circuit brake system with front disc brakes and rear drum brakes if a carburetor engine is installed, and all disc brakes if an injection engine is installed. Since certain models are equipped with an ABS system, attention should be paid to the connections of the brake pipes when performing work in which the pipes are disconnected. The front disc brakes are equipped with floating calipers, which are used on most modern models. The floating caliper has only one piston, instead of two on the calipers of the previous design. The models described in this publication are equipped with disc brakes of two designs. All brakes have automatic adjustment. The system has an adjustment valve for adjusting the brake pressure on the wheels. On drum brakes installed, this valve is located on the inner side of the wheel brake cylinders, on disc brakes two separate valves are installed (see illustrations). The handbrake acts through a cable on the rear wheels. The system is equipped with a brake booster.
