The vehicle's braking system consists of disc brakes on the front wheels and drum or disc brakes on the rear wheels (V6 engine and models with anti-lock braking system (ABS)). All models are equipped with a brake booster.
General instructions for carrying out work on the brake system
It is very important to know exactly what type of brake system a particular model has. This applies to the front brakes, as they have been modified several times in recent years. Front disc brakes differ in cylinder diameter and disc braking force, depending on the engine installed. Both disc and drum brakes are automatically adjusted.
Brake pads or brake pad linings may only be replaced as a set. Never mix brake system components from different manufacturers. If worn brake discs are ground, do this on both sides and to the same extent. If the hydraulic cylinder is disassembled, replace the sealing rings.
When disassembling the brake system, protect its components from lubricants. All work must be carried out in a clean room. This also applies to tools and hands. Remove the sealing rings from the piston only with your fingers and dip them in clean brake fluid before installing. A worn or damaged cylinder must be replaced.

Be careful not to let brake fluid come into contact with the vehicle's paintwork. Brake fluid that has been drained from the system cannot be used again. Brake fluid that has been stored in a leaky container for a long time cannot be used either. When bleeding air from the brake system, pump the brake pedal until brake fluid begins to come out.
