How to maintain the brakes on my Ford S-Max?

I recently purchased a Ford S-Max and want to make sure I am properly maintaining the brakes. What steps should I take to ensure the longevity and functionality of my brakes on my Ford S-Max?

Hi Lisa, congratulations on your new Ford S-Max! Taking care of the brakes on your car is essential for your safety and the longevity of your vehicle. Here are a few tips to help you maintain your brakes:

- Regularly check your brake fluid levels and top up if necessary.

- Inspect your brake pads and rotors for wear and tear. If they are getting too thin or have any damage, it's time to replace them.

- Avoid excessive braking and try to anticipate stops to reduce wear on your brakes.

- Get your brakes checked and serviced at least once a year by a qualified mechanic.
