7.2.12 Hydraulically operated parking brake
Such a parking brake system is often used in sports cars, when the parking brake is applied for a short time and is necessary in order to achieve the desired trajectory of the car while turning.
In fact, the same lever is used in the passenger compartment. The same rear brakes as in the mechanical drive, but instead of cables — hoses and pipes that are filled with brake fluid. One or two master brake cylinders are connected to the lever in the passenger compartment. The principle of operation is the same as in a regular service brake system. It was discussed above.
