Exercise 7. Describe the new Saab brake system using the following words:
Disc brakes all round, floating calipers, large effective cooling areas, cool brake
fluid, brake-pad friction material, asbestos-free, the hydraulic fluid reservoir, vital
safety feature.
Exercise 8. Give a short annotation of the text.
Exercise 9. Read the following text. Translate it with the help of the dictionary
(20 min.).
Smooth braking
The foot-brake system is equipped with a servo unit. So relatively light pedal
pressure is sufficient for a given braking effort.
The master cylinder is designed so that both hydraulic circuits will be actuated at
exactly the same instant and with the same pressure. This reduces the risk of the car
pulling to one side when the brakes are applied, and ensures more uniform wear of
the brake pads.
Exercise 10. Answer the following questions to the text.
1)What is the foot-brake system equipped with?
2) In what way is the master cylinder designed?
3) What ensures more uniform wear of the brake pads?
Exercise 11. Agree or disagree with the following statements.
1) The foot-brake system is equipped with a servo unit.
2) Relatively light pedal pressure is sufficient for a given braking effort.
3) The master cylinder is designed so that both hydraulic circuits will not be
actuated at exactly the same instant.
Exercise 12. Read the following text. Translate it. Use the words given below.
ABS anti-lock brakes
The Saab ABS+3 anti-lock brake system has been specially designed for cars with
front-wheel drive. Since the system prevents locking of the wheels, the driver can
brake as hard as the situation merits, and he can swerve at the same time to avoid an
obstacle. This enhances the safety in practically all motoring situations and under any
road conditions.
The safety of the Saab system is duplicated. Two mutually independent electronic
systems check and compare one another’s signals. A sensor at each wheel senses the
