Braking System Features

• Four channel ABS allows for maximum steering control under hard-braking conditions where lockup may occur
• Front and rear vented rotors, large twin-piston calipers up front and large single-piston calipers in the rear help improve stopping power and reduce vibration during braking
• Disc brakes provide enhanced heat dissipation, resistance to brake fade, longer pad life and improved stopping distances
• Brake Assist recognizes and applies appropriate braking assist when the driver brakes suddenly but without enough force to provide full deceleration
• Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) automatically balances the front-to-rear brake force distribution to reduce the tendency for rear-wheel lockup and optimize braking performance according to vehicle load of passengers, cargo and/or payload
