BRAKE BOOSTER

M2350002000245

To improve the braking performance, an 8 + 9-inch
tandem-type brake booster is used on all models.
The tandem type brake booster uses two dia-
phragms to double the power effect resulting from
the pressure difference between atmospheric pres-
sure and negative pressure. It ensures an aug-
mented brake boosting power without increasing the
outside diameter.

PROPORTIONING VALVE <VEHICLES WITHOUT ABS>

A proportioning valve has been adopted to prevent
early locking of the rear wheels, in order to provide
improved stability during braking.

In terms of operation, the system is basically the
same as the 2002 LANCER.
