The importance of the automobile braking system for the driver's personal safety can be said to be self-evident, but many people in the automobile maintenance process often ignore the maintenance of the automobile braking system, which is a very dangerous signal.
Brake fluid is also called automobile brake fluid. When a driver applies the brakes, the force from the foot pedal, from the piston of the brake master cylinder, transmits energy through the brake fluid to each of the wheel's sub-pumps, causing friction between the brake pads and discs to achieve the purpose of reducing the speed of the vehicle.
Brake fluid deteriorates due to high temperature or absorbs moisture in the air, which can cause the boiling point to decrease. If it is not replaced for a long time, it will corrode the piping of the braking system, which will bring hidden danger to driving. The boiling brake fluid will make the brake pedal empty, which will happen suddenly when the brakes are used violently, frequently and continuously. When the car driving brake for a long time, the temperature of the braking system rises, the brake lines are prone to air resistance, air is compressed, resulting in a decline in braking power or brake failure may be.
Therefore we need to pay attention to the following points:
1. Try to choose a reliable quality of brake fluid brand, you can also choose the original designated brand, do not mix different brands.
2. It is recommended to drive 30,000~50,000 kilometers to replace the brake pads. In fact, the replacement cycle of the brake pads does not have an accurate number, different driving habits will definitely make a huge difference in the wear of the brake pads, for the "30,000 ~ 50,000 kilometers" is just an approximate range.
3. Brake discs should preferably be made of carbon fiber and metal as the main raw materials, with emphasis on asbestos-free and environmentally friendly formulas.
Braking performance and effect, a direct impact on the driving process of safety, more so in the rain and fog weather is more common in the spring. It is not a bad idea to go to 4S store or specialized repair store to do a comprehensive maintenance of the brake system.
