Brakes

Brakes are used for slowing or stopping your Mercedes. They can be of drum type or disc type. Braking systems works on the principle of hydraulic pressure. The braking system generally consists of brake calipers, set of pistons, brake pads and a rotor. In most vehicles, the brake pads are metallic or ceramic. The brakes work by converting the kinetic energy of the vehicle into friction that opposes the motion of the vehicle, resulting in deceleration.
