Preparation:
1. Ensure the vehicle is in a safe area, not in moving traffic.
2. Make sure the parking brake is engaged to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
Depressing the Front Disk Brakes:
1. Sit in the driver's seat with your foot off the brake pedal.
2. Gradually and firmly press the brake pedal downward using moderate to heavy pressure with your right foot. Apply sufficient force to ensure the brake pads come into contact with the brake rotors.
3. Maintain constant pressure on the brake pedal to keep the brakes depressed. The brake pedal will typically travel a certain distance before reaching the point where the full braking force is applied.
Releasing the Front Disk Brakes:
1. Once you want to release the brakes, slowly and gradually lift your foot off the brake pedal. Avoid sudden or impulsive releases.
2. The brake pads will retract from the brake rotors, releasing the braking force.
This process is similar for most Ford vehicles equipped with front disk brakes. If you encounter any difficulties or have concerns about depressing the brakes, refer to your vehicle's owner's manual or seek assistance from a trained mechanic.
