An automobile's brake system is essential for the safe operation of your vehicle. Without functioning brakes, it's impossible to slow or stop your vehicle when necessary. Troubleshooting your car's braking system is not always easy to do. Each part of the system must be in good condition for it to work correctly, and recognising indications of problems requires basic mechanical knowledge about how the system works, as well as how to recognise a specific problem. | An automobile's brake system is essential for the safe operation of your vehicle.

#Learn the types of braking systems used in modern automobiles. There are two basic subsystems on passenger cars, the deceleration system, a hydraulically functioning, operator controlled dynamic braking system, and a parking brake system, which is activated by a mechanical linkage and prevents to car from moving while it is parked. Here are specific problems you may observe on each: | #Learn the types of braking systems used in modern automobiles.
