What are the reasons for the ineffective braking of the classic Focus?

Introduction to the reasons for the ineffective braking of the classic Focus: 1. Check the brake master cylinder and bleeding condition. 2. Check if the brake fluid is sufficient. 3. Check for any leaks in the brake fluid lines. 4. Inspect the brake calipers, brake pads, and related mechanisms. Address any braking issues promptly to eliminate potential safety hazards. Methods to prevent excessive wear of brake pads: 1. When descending steep slopes, reduce the speed in advance and use the appropriate gear. Utilize engine braking in combination with the braking system to effectively reduce the burden on the braking system and avoid overheating. 2. Do not turn off the engine while descending slopes. Most cars are equipped with a brake vacuum booster pump. Once the engine is turned off, the brake booster pump not only fails to assist but also creates significant resistance to the brake master cylinder, greatly increasing the braking distance.
