The braking system relies on friction to help it slow the momentum of the wheels to bring the vehicle to a stop, produced by the cooperation of brake components such as the Ford brake caliper, brake pads, and the brake disc.

Braking depends on friction, and the process slowly erodes the brake system over time.

Instead of burning up brake pads and bringing the car closer to an expensive maintenance appointment, I knew that the car was actually saving its friction brake and largely relying on regenerative braking, recharging its battery pack to give it more electric boost.

The cylinder barrels and the chain drive have been optimized to minimize friction, the oil pump operates on demand, and a recuperation system recovers energy during coasting and braking.

Other changes include a revised Servotronic power steering for improved feel and feedback, optional fade - resistant carbon ceramic brakes provide improved brake feel (only available on 20 - inch wheels), new, more upright front grille and larger lower air intakes give improved airflow to aid engine cooling; chromed headlamp bezels, two new exterior paint colours (Cumbrian Green and Granite), two new leather hide colours (Newmarket Tan and Cumbrian Green), new low - friction dampers, new «Sport Traction» mode for the Bosch 8.1 ESP system and a Bentley «B» brake pedal.

The CLA - Class has an advanced electromechanical power steering system which uses ESP control unit data to facilitate various steering assistance functions such as counter-steering in the event of oversteer, corrective steering when braking on road surfaces with differing levels of grip (split - friction braking), minimization of torque steer and compensation for crosswinds and road gradients.

High - friction brake pads are equipped on all four wheels.

High - friction brake pads are fitted on both.

The brake pads are coated with a friction compound, designed to give the pads a tight grip on the brake disc surface, producing the friction necessary to stop the motion of the wheels.

Unlike some other systems, it works beautifully even on hills, applying a skosh of friction braking if necessary.
