摘要

The braking mechanism comprises a push rod (1) reacting with a braking circuit (2) and with a brake pedal (3). The push rod has a pyrotechnic release mechanism allowing its retraction in the event of a collision. The release mechanism comprises a cable (9) connected to a rod weak point (17) and to a pyrotechnic component (8). An electrical relay (10) is mounted between an airbag control unit (CC) and the release mechanism.
