How does the hydraulic braking system work?
Model: (Various brands) Various
In this video we see the basic principle of the hydraulic braking system, which exploits the so-called "Pascal's law", according to which a pressure exerted on an incompressible fluid (such as in this case the brake fluid) is transmitted uniformly in all directions. In practice, when we press the brake pedal, we are exerting a force on a piston inside the master cylinder; this force compresses the brake fluid inside the cylinder, generating a pressure, which propagates - through rigid or flexible pipes - to the brake calipers, located near the wheels. In the calipers, the pressure acts on other smaller pistons, which push the brake pads against the wheel discs. Friction slows down and stops the rotation of the wheels, decelerating or stopping the vehicle completely.

How to Open the Bonnet on the Lancia Y
To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening. To do this, slightly lift the bonnet, locate the yellow lever underneath, and pull it to the left to fully release and open the bonnet. by ScegliAuto More videos
