Defender 2019 on Brakes
Modern Defender braking systems combine large ventilated discs with sophisticated electronic assistance, delivering confident stopping power for both on-road safety and off-road capability. Advanced ABS, Electronic Brake Distribution, and Brake Assist technology work together to optimise braking performance across varying conditions and loads.
Advanced Electronic Brake Technology
Electronic brake systems integrate multiple safety functions, including ABS, stability control, and brake assist, that continuously monitor wheel speed, steering input, and vehicle dynamics. The system automatically adjusts braking force to individual wheels, maintaining control and stability during emergency stops or challenging conditions. Large ventilated disc brakes provide excellent heat dissipation during demanding use.
Electronic parking brake systems eliminate traditional handbrake mechanisms, using electric motors to engage rear brake callipers. The system integrates with hill-start assist and provides automatic release when driving away. Suspension systems work with brake geometry to maintain optimal pedal feel and stopping distances.
Brake pads include electronic wear sensors that communicate with the vehicle's computer systems, providing a warning of replacement needs through dashboard displays. This prevents unexpected pad wear and potential damage to brake discs from metal-to-metal contact.
