The cars are equipped with two brake systems that work independently of each other - service and parking. If one of the systems fails, the car can be stopped using the other. The system is divided into two circuits.
The first is responsible for braking the front wheels, the second - the rear. If one circuit fails, for example due to a leak, the car can be stopped by another circuit. In this case, in order to get the same effective braking as with a working brake system, you will have to press the brake pedal with much greater force. The pedal travel increases, and the braking distance is significantly longer.
The service (foot) hydraulic brake system on Mercedes E-Class models consists of a master brake cylinder, a booster, and disc brakes on the front and rear wheels. Pressure in both brake circuits is created in the dual master brake cylinder when the brake pedal is pressed.
