De-coupler

The De-coupler is fitted to the new Mondeo and Jaguar X type.  The system completely disconnects the brake pedal from the brake system allowing the pedal to move to the bulk head following a crash.
  • The system is activated by the relative deformation between the bulkhead and cross car beam.  
  • The system is intrinsically safe requiring significant vehicle deformation to effect de-coupling.
  • De-coupling occurs at the booster pushrod.
  • No modifications are required to the pushrod, carryover parts can be used
