Audi Brakes FAQs

How Do Audi Q5 Brakes Work?

Your SUV features a disc brake system. When you apply pressure to the brake pedal, the master brake cylinder directs hydraulic brake fluid to pistons in your brake calipers. The calipers respond to the building pressure by closing the brake pads onto your brake rotors. That generates the friction your wheels need in order to stop moving.

How Do I Spot Brake Problems?

Eventually, though, even the best brake components can go bad or wear out. That's not good, since you can't depend on your brakes to perform as you're accustomed. Signs of failure include:

• The dash warning light comes on
• You hear grinding, squealing, or squeaking noises when you brake
• Taking more time and distance to stop
• Your SUV shudders when you brake
• Your brake pedal feels soft or squishy
• Pulling to one side when you brake
