Description
Tandem Master Cylinder
The short-stroke tandem master-cylinder controls two
separate brake circuits which are jointly activated by the
brake pedal. In the event of a major leak in one system, the
other will still function. The two systems are supplied by a
common brake fluid reservoir.
A pressure sensor attached to the master-cylinder provides
the ABS / DSC module with brake pressure information. This
information informs the system how hard the driver is
braking and is used as an aid for the ABS / DSC to achieve
accurate brake pressure control.

Brake Fluid Reservoir
The brake fluid reservoir is mounted directly on the tandem
master cylinder and secured with a pin. Two stub pipes, on
the base of the reservoir, locate into the primary and
secondary chambers of the tandem master cylinder.
An integral fluid-level switch is incorporated in the reservoir.
If the brake fluid level is low, the brake warning lamp in the
Driver Information Module (DIM) will illuminate and 'LOW
BRAKE FLUID' will be displayed in the message center right.
