Key aspects of the MKZ brake system:

Disc brakes:

The MKZ utilizes disc brakes on all four wheels, consisting of brake pads that press against a rotor to slow the vehicle.

Brake pads:

These are made of high-friction materials and wear down over time, requiring replacement.

Rotors:

These are the rotating metal discs that the brake pads press against. They can wear down and may need replacement along with the pads.

Regenerative braking:

Hybrid models use this system to capture energy during braking, improving fuel efficiency.

Brake Coach:

This feature provides feedback on braking efficiency in hybrid models, encouraging drivers to make smoother stops.

Maintenance:

Regular inspection and maintenance, including brake pad replacement, brake fluid flushes, and rotor checks, are crucial for optimal braking performance and safety.

Common issues:

Brake pad wear, squealing or grinding noises, and potential issues with the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) are common concerns.
