09-4 2. SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1) Terms and Definition CBS: Conventional Brake System ABS: Anti-Lock Brake System EBD: Electronic brake-Force Distribution ESP: Electronic Stability Program ABD: Automatic Braking Differential ASR: Acceleration Slip Regulation AYC: Active Yaw Control (Understeer and Oversteer Control) HBA: Hydraulic Brake Assistant ARP: Active Rollover Protection HSA: Hill Start Assistant Brake pad: Brake pad is a component of disk brakes used in automotive and other applications. Brake pad is steel backing plates with friction material bound to the surface that faces the brake disc. Brake disc: The brake disc is a device for slowing or stopping the rotation of a wheel while it is in motion. Brake caliper: To stop the wheel, friction material in the form of brake pads (mounted on a device called a brake caliper) is forced hydraulically against both sides of the disc. Friction causes the disc and attached wheel to slow or stop. Brake master cylinder: The brake master cylinder is a control device that converts non-hydraulic pressure (commonly from a driver's foot) into hydraulic pressure, in order to move other device(s) which are located at the other end of the hydraulic system, such as one or more slave cylinders. As piston(s) move along the bore of the master cylinder, this movement is transferred through the hydraulic fluid, to result in a movement of the slave cylinder(s). The hydraulic pressure created by moving a piston (inside the bore of the master cylinder) toward the slave cylinder(s) compresses the fluid evenly, but by varying the comparative surface-area of the master cylinder and/or each slave cylinder, one will vary the amount of force and displacement applied to each slave cylinder (relative to the amount of force and displacement that was applied to the master cylinder). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Function Vehicle with CBS Vehicle with ABS/EBD Vehicle with ESP ABS Not applied Applied Applied EBD Applied ABD Not applied ASR AYC HBA ARP 2) Functions |
