MERCURY MARINER

BRAKE REPAIR

The Mercury Mariner utilizes a disc brake system on both the front and rear wheels, featuring a hydraulic system that uses brake fluid to activate the brakes. When the brake pedal is pressed, hydraulic pressure pushes a piston within the brake caliper, which in turn forces the brake pads against the brake rotors, creating friction to slow down the vehicle. The braking system also includes a master cylinder, brake lines, and an anti-lock braking system (ABS) module to enhance safety and performance.

Here's a more detailed look:

Disc Brakes:

The Mercury Mariner employs disc brakes on all four wheels, a common setup known for its effective heat dissipation and consistent performance.

Hydraulic System:

The hydraulic system is the core of the braking mechanism. When the brake pedal is depressed, it pushes a piston within the master cylinder, sending pressurized brake fluid through the brake lines.

Caliper and Pads:

The pressurized fluid enters the brake calipers, which house pistons that press the brake pads against the brake rotors.

Friction:

The friction created between the brake pads and rotors is what slows down the wheels and ultimately the vehicle.

ABS:

The anti-lock braking system (ABS) prevents the wheels from locking up during hard braking, maintaining steering control and preventing skidding.

Regenerative Braking (Hybrid Model):

The hybrid version of the Mariner may also incorporate regenerative braking, which uses the electric motor to slow the vehicle and recapture energy.
