Function
The braking system is one of the important systems in your car.
It consists of a series of components working together that exert
pressure to slow or stop a vehicle. The main components of the braking
system are; the Power Booster, the Master Cylinder, the Brake Line
and Hoses, the Calipers, the Pads & Shoes, the ABS system, the
Parking Brake and Fluid.
Maintenance
Your car's brakes should be inspected annually to prevent costly
damage. Symptoms of brake problems may include dragging brakes,
squealing brakes, a pulsating brake pedal (with ABS not functioning),
grinding brakes, a low brake pedal or pulling when braking. On cars
with ABS, if the BRAKE, ANTILOCK or ABS light on the instrument
panel stays on or flashes, or comes on while driving, it indicates
a fault in the ABS system. If your car exhibits any of these symptoms,
call your local SAF-T Auto Centers as soon as possible.
