http://www.hotwired.com/Coin/Spnsrs/Volvo/850/Specs/brakes.html (The Risc Disc Volume 2, 10/1995)
Brakes
- Front: 11 inch diameter, ventilated discs with sliding calipers
- Rear: 11.5 inch diameter solid discs; proportioning valve
- Three-channel anti-lock braking system (ABS)
- Separate self-adjusting mechanical rear-wheel drum parking brakes
Agile and sure-footed, the 850's predictability benefits further from four-wheel disc brakes and ABS anti-lock braking. Ventilated front discs promote quick dissipation of the heat that can diminish stopping power. Three-channel ABS is designed to help assure that steering control is maintained even under the most severe braking conditions by helping to prevent wheel lock-up.
