Abstract
The invention relates to a brake mechanism for a vehicle, in particular for a motor vehicle, with a brake disk and a friction lining. As claimed in the invention, the friction lining forms a reservoir for a protective agent, preferably additives, which transfers the protective agent to the brake disk in the course of a frictional connection between the friction lining and the brake disk.
