Volvo S70 Brake Pads are friction components that press against the brake rotors to convert the vehicle's motion into heat and bring it to a stop. Each pad consists of a steel backing plate with a molded or riveted friction compound that contacts the disc. Typically, two Brake Pads work on each rotor under the action of a caliper. Volvo specifies a minimum pad thickness because the friction lining will wear down during normal use. The company also has wear mechanisms that will alert the driver when replacement is necessary. Some versions employ electronic sensors embedded within the pad. Others are more simple, and a mechanical indicator emits noise when the lining touches the rotor. There are different types of friction materials such as non-metallic, semi-metallic, fully metallic, and ceramic formulations. These friction materials are a compromise between stopping power, performance against heat fade, durability, and noise. The Brake Pads generate thermal energy from kinetic energy during braking, no matter what the material is. Under continuous braking, the pads can get very hot and lose some effectiveness if the compound overheats. Having the brakes inspected regularly helps retain the pedal feel and stopping distances of the Volvo sedan. In the S70 front and rear disc systems, the pads work inside ventilated rotor assemblies designed for better heat dispersion than former drum arrangements. Pad replacement is generally recommended after a substantial mileage to prevent rotor damage due to metal-to-metal contact. With the right friction formulation and timely replacement, Volvo drivers can be assured of effective deceleration and protect the braking hardware on their S70.
