Conventional Friction Braking
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If the HVTB is almost fully charged, or the requested amount of braking cannot be achieved by regenerative braking alone, the ABS module will apply the vehicles conventional friction brakes. The friction brakes utilize components similar to those found in a conventional vacuum assisted brake system with anti-lock control. For a list of components, refer to BRAKE SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION .
