Conventional Friction Braking

If the HVTB is almost fully charged, or the requested amount of braking cannot be achieved by regenerative braking alone, the ABS module applies the vehicles conventional friction brakes. The friction brakes utilize components similar to those found in a conventional vacuum assisted brake system with anti-lock control. For a list of components, refer to BRAKE SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION article.
