ZAFIRA is fitted with a power-assisted braking system which employs ventilated disc brakes at the front and solid discs at the rear. It is also equipped with special brake linings designed to ensure high stability under extreme loads. The vehicle has electronically controlled Bosch 5.3 four-channel anti-lock brakes fitted standard, a system that is claimed to be quieter than conventional systems due to a rapid control cycle. The ABS system includes integrated brake-force distribution between the axles and (non-switchable) traction control with brake and engine intervention.
