The service brake system includes the master brake cylinder, wheel brakes, brake booster, anti-lock braking system (ABS), hoses and pipes connecting the listed components.
The mechanical cable-operated parking brake system acts on the rear wheels.
The working fluid enters the brake circuits from the main brake cylinder, located in the engine compartment. A compensation tank of the brake system is installed above the main brake cylinder, which serves to fill the system with brake fluid.
The front brakes are disc type with a single-cylinder caliper with a "floating" bracket, creating equal pressure on both brake pads.
The rear brakes are drum type with one front and one rear shoe, driven by one two-piston cylinder. There is a self-adjusting mechanism for automatic compensation of shoe wear.
When the pads wear out, the mechanism is activated and extends the effective length of the spacer bar, reducing the gap between the pads and the drum.
The instrument panel has warning lights for the parking brake, low fluid level in the reservoir, and the ABS system.

Technical data of rear brakes:
- the diameter of the new drum is 203.2 mm
- maximum drum diameter after turning - 204.2 mm
- thickness of the pressure pad - 4.6 mm (not less than 2.0 mm)
- thickness of the push-up shoe - 3.3 mm (not less than 2.2 mm)
Warning! When driving on a wet road, it is recommended to brake the car periodically to dry and clean the brake linings to restore the effectiveness of the brakes. As a result of the operation of the brake mechanisms, dust is formed from the brake linings, which is harmful to health. All work on cleaning the brake mechanisms should be carried out in respiratory protection equipment - respirators.
