DESCRIPTION:
A POWER STRUGGLE IN THE BRAKES COULD TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR CAR.
A minor difference in braking power between wheels can make a tremendous difference in where your car ends up.
So every Volvo comes with disc brakes on all four wheels. Because disc brakes are less likely to produce fluctuations in braking power.
After repeated hard stops, for instance, their design makes them more resistant to fade than conventional drum brakes.
And unlike drum brakes, discs are unsusceptible to what’s called “self-servo” action.This occurs when the rotation of a brake drum pulls the shoe outwards. And it could produce a force in one wheel strong enough to make you skid into the next lane.
Of course, there is one place where you want your brake system to work unequally: the hydraulic system.
Because in a hard stop, the rear wheels tend to lock up before the front wheels.
So every Volvo has two valves that actually proportion the hydraulic pressure between the front and rear wheels. When you slam on the brakes, it helps reduce the chances that you’ll wind up swapping ends.
At Volvo, there’s nothing more important to us than maintaining a balance in the stopping power on each wheel.
Because in a struggle between the brakes, if one wins, you lose.

VOLVO’S OWNER PROTECTION PLAN.
Before your new Volvo so much as taps bumpers with another car in a parking lot, we'll have slammed dozens of Volvos into reinforced concrete barriers in tests up to 50 m.p.h.
We're sorry to report that this wasn’t one of them. But we're happy to report that the driver of this Volvo was able to go out and get another one.
Note that behind the windshield, this Volvo has not been deformed. That’s because the front end is designed to absorb impact to protect the passenger compartment. And to protect the passengers even further. Volvo surrounds them with a steel cage. Six box-section steel pillars, strong enough to support six Volvos piled on top, are an integral part of every Volvo body.
Lots of car makers have elaborate plans for protecting their cars.
Volvo takes elaborate pains to protect the people inside.
VOLVO
The 1974 Volvo is six cars in one. All Volvos.
At Volvo we think it takes more than impressive features to make an impressive car.
It takes years of making those features work together.
So when we designed the 1974 Volvo, we started with a unitized body construction developed thirty years ago for our Volvo 444, because it’s still one of the strongest we know of.
We use disc brakes for their stubborn resistance to fading. As well as an orthopedically-engineered seat built to adjust for optimum back support. Both the legacy of the Volvo 122.
Years ago we introduced fuel injection in our sports car to give its engine the most efficient mixture of fuel and air.
And equipped our luxury sedan with radial tires to enhance its road-holding capabilities. You'll find fuel injection and radial tires on this year’s 144.
And recent government safety requirements aren’t recent to us. Our Volvo 544, for example, was the first mass-produced car to come with three-point seat belts as standard equipment.
Later we created the Volvo Experimental Safety Vehicle: an entire car devoted to safety. With features like stronger bumpers and steel anti-intrusion bars in the doors. But safety is more than just experimental at Volvo.
For 1974 we’ve added five important safety features that no other Volvo has ever had: A warning light that can help protect you from accidents caused by burned out headlights or taillights.
A re-positioned fuel tank designed to be less vulnerable in an accident.
As well as better visibility, more collision protection and an even stronger body. After all, we wouldn't want a tradition like ours to stand in the way of progress.
