Assignment on Toyota Yaris 2006 Model (Yaris compact)

 Toyota Yaris 2006 Model (Yaris compact)

Concerning primary safety features, that are designed into the vehicle which reduce
the possibility of an accident, include primary design elements such as dual-circuit
braking systems, Anti-lock brakes (ABS)
Brake System
The tandem master cylinder brake system is a hydraulic system with a separate sub-switch. If either
the sub-system should fail the other will still work. However, the pedal will be harder to press, and
your stopping distance will increase. Also, the breaker system warning light may come one.
Front Ventilated disc
It works by when brake booster is applied, the hydraulic fluid from the master cylinder is pumped
and passed through the tubes and reaches to the hoses where pistons are pushed by the fluid is
acted on the plate which is used to stop the wheel rotation.
Rear Drum
It works as the hydraulic fluid from the master cylinder is pumped and passed through the tubes
and reaches to the hose, there are brake shoes, that are forced against the rotating drum, they are
pulled away from their pivot point by friction
Parking Center hand brake
The main purpose of handbrakes is to prevent car from moving when it is parked. It is generally
provided only on the rest wheels.
When you apply the hand brakes, a cable is operated which applies the rear wheels brakes. And
the gear mechanism and a gear lock is in way that it prevents the cable to release tension. When
you push the button on the handbrake, the lock is disengaged and you can alter the tension.

Brake Booster
The break boaster uses engine vacuum to power assist the brakes. If the engine should quit while
you are driving you can bring the vehicle to stop with normal pedal passive. There is enough
reserved vacuum for one or two stops but no more.

Anti-lock brake system (with ABS warning light)

The Anti-lock brake system is designed to help prevent lock-up of the
wheels during a sudden breaking or breaking on slippery read surface.
This assists in providing directional stability &steering performance of
the vehicle under these circumstances.

Electric power steering system

The electric power steering system, using an electric motor, assists
the turning of the steering wheel. The Toyota 2006 Yaris uses the
Electric Motor Power Steering.
The operations are as follows: -
A steering control module (computer) electronically reacts to
steering pressure

The module operates the electric motor in the rack assembly to help the driver steer
the wheels
The module can reverse motor rotation and alter motor speed as needed

Suspension
On the front part of the wheel, the 2006 Toyota Yaris front McPherson strut
suspension has installed with a completely new design and features an
optimized geometry to provide the best possible balance between steadiness
and ride comfort. There is a single control arm connected to the bottom of the
wheel hub. it is a spring + shock absorber combination. It acts as both energy
dissipation and energy absorber due to the combination of spring and shock
absorber. Whenever the car hits a bump, the MacPherson strut, it acts as both
energy absorbing (when the spring is compressed) and energy dissipating (used
to damp or control motion in a vehicle)

On the rear suspension, there is coil spring along with the torsion beam. When the car hits a
bump, the energy from motion compresses the coil spring and absorb the energy. When the
spring released, the spring push back. The torsion bar resists twisting action and acts as a
conventional spring.
Power train
On our Yaris automobile assignment, it is front engine rear wheel drive.it has automatic
transmission, in which power is transmitted to the wheel through torque converter from
engine to the transmission.
 Toyota Yaris 2006 Model (Yaris compact)

Torque converters are used in automatic cars, there are 4 main components: -
Flywheel
Turbine
Pump
Stator and there is fluid inside
When the engine rotates, the flywheel which is connected to the engine shaft(crankshaft) is also
rotated. The torque converter is placed in between the engine and the transmission. There is a
pump inside of a torque converter and that is going to push the fluid out and rotate the turbine
which is connected the transmission. As the engine is rotating, flywheel which is also rotating
throw the fluid to the outside in the flywheel. This fluid moves and in contact with turbine, then
spin the turbine which is connected to the transmission and then turning of the wheels. In the
stator, the direction of the flow is cycled continuously. So, when the accelerator pedal is pressed,
the fluid spin the turbine highly and this spinning of the of turbine is transmitted to the wheels
and higher speed is achieved.
