is equipped with a power
as-
sisted hydraulic dual
circuit
brake
system
with disc
brakes
at the
front
and at the
rear.
Both circuits
function
independenfly.
One
brake circuit
operates
the front and
the
other the
rear
axle.
ln the
unlikely event
ol
hydraulic failure ol
one circuit, push
the brake pedal
down
firmly and hold it in
that
position.
A
mechanical linkage activates
the
second

a stop.

has
failed, the other will
still
operate. However, you will
