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.
