The reason for the retraction of the rear brake caliper on the Ford Mondeo is that the brake caliper retracts after the brake system returns to its original position. There are three types of brake systems: 1. Foot brake: The commonly used brake while driving is operated by the foot, also known as the foot brake. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the braking force is transmitted mechanically or hydraulically to the braking device at the wheels, creating friction. 2. Parking brake: Also known as the handbrake, it is used to prevent the vehicle from slipping when parked. There are generally two types: the intermediate brake type installed on the drive shaft and the direct control rear wheel brake type. 3. Anti-lock braking system (ABS): When driving on slippery or icy low-friction roads, excessive braking can cause the wheels to lock up and lose traction, leading to a loss of directional control. To enable effective control of the vehicle's direction on such hazardous roads, the ABS 'Anti-lock Braking System' was developed.
