Braking System

A braking system in a vehicle is used to slow down or stop the vehicle by applying friction to the wheels. Most cars have a hydraulic braking system, which uses fluid pressure to activate the brake pads, clamping down on the wheels’ rotors.

When the driver presses the brake pedal, a plunger in the master cylinder forces brake fluid through the brake lines and into the brake calipers, which are located at each wheel. The calipers then use hydraulic pressure to apply the brake pads to the rotors, slowing down the wheels and bringing the vehicle to a stop.
