Brake Systems (06.00)
Hand Brake (06.05)
Description
The handbrake control lever is located on the outside of the drivers seat and brakes the rear road wheels through a cable
system and two mechanical handbrake callipers. Handbrake pads are applied by the mechanical brake callipers (x2), one
acting on each rear road wheel brake disc. The callipers are bolted to the vertical links. Return springs on each calliper
retract the pads when the parking brake is released.
Wear in the parking brake pads is compensated for automatically by a mechanism within the calipers. Cable stretch is
compensated by cable adjusters.
A handbrake switch is wired normally closed. The switch is held open whilst the handbrake is 'off' and closes when the
handbrake is applied. The handbrake warning lamp on the instrument panel is illuminated when the handbrake is applied.
