Conventional Brakes

Three braking systems are available for Saturn vehicles. The conventional (base) brake system consists of front disc brakes and rear drum brakes, with power assist. Optional on certain Saturn models is an antilock brake system (ABS), equipped with either front and rear disc brakes and power assist or with front disc brakes and rear drum brakes and power assist. This section concerns itself with the conventional brake system.

The following descriptions explain the operation of the components used on the conventional brake system.
