BRAKE REPAIR

The Acura RDX's braking system, like that of many modern vehicles, relies on a combination of hydraulic and electronic components to stop the vehicle safely. Key components include the brake pedal, brake booster, brake calipers, brake pads, brake rotors, and brake fluid. The Collision Mitigation Braking System is also a part of the system, providing automatic braking assistance when a potential collision is detected.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Brake Pedal and Booster:

The brake pedal and booster work together to amplify the driver's braking effort, making it easier to stop the vehicle.

Brake Calipers:

These are the mechanisms that squeeze the brake pads against the rotors, creating friction and stopping the wheels.

Brake Pads:

These are the wear items that contact the rotors, providing friction and slowing the vehicle.

Brake Rotors:

These are the metal discs that the brake pads contact, and they transfer the friction energy into heat.

Brake Fluid:

This hydraulic fluid transmits pressure from the master cylinder (connected to the brake pedal) to the calipers, allowing the calipers to apply the brakes.

Brake Hold:

This feature allows the vehicle to hold its position while stopped, without the driver needing to maintain pressure on the brake pedal.
