Most vehicles today come with advanced braking technologies, including:
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS): Helps maintain steering control while braking by preventing the wheels from locking up.
Disc Brakes: Found on most front and often rear wheels; brake pads clamp onto a spinning rotor to create stopping friction.
Drum Brakes: Typically on rear wheels; brake shoes press outward against a drum to slow down the vehicle.
Parking Brakes (Mechanical or Electronic): Manually or electronically engages rear brakes for parking or emergency situations.
Each system plays a vital role in safe braking performance. If any of these components are worn or malfunctioning, they should be addressed immediately.

Brake warning light stays illuminated
