How does the Ford Focus's brake system work?

I recently purchased a Ford Focus and I am curious about how the brake system works. Can you explain the technical details behind it and any potential maintenance tips?

The Ford Focus uses a hydraulic brake system that uses brake fluid to transfer pressure and engage the brakes. It's important to regularly check and replace your brake fluid to ensure optimal performance.

In addition to regular brake fluid maintenance, make sure to also check your brake pads and rotors for wear and tear. It's recommended to replace them every 50,000 miles or when they start to make unusual noises.

If you experience a pulsating or vibrating brake pedal, it could indicate an issue with your brake calipers. Make sure to have them inspected and replaced if necessary.
