The schematic drawing shows the following components of the Volvo 850 brake system:
* Master cylinder
* Brake booster
* Front brake lines
* Rear brake lines
* Brake calipers
* Brake pads
* Brake rotors
The master cylinder is located in the engine compartment and is connected to the brake pedal. It is responsible for converting the mechanical force of the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure.
The brake booster is also located in the engine compartment and is connected to the master cylinder. It helps to increase the hydraulic pressure generated by the master cylinder.
The front brake lines run from the master cylinder to the front brake calipers. The rear brake lines run from the master cylinder to the rear brake calipers.
The brake calipers are located at each wheel and are responsible for squeezing the brake pads against the brake rotors to slow down or stop the vehicle.
The brake pads are made of a friction material that helps to slow down or stop the vehicle when they are pressed against the brake rotors.
The brake rotors are located at each wheel and are responsible for dissipating heat generated by the friction between the brake pads and the rotors.
