The importance of Brake Pads
Brake pads as a key component of the automobile braking system, directly related to the safety of driving, its normal operation is to ensure that the vehicle safe driving basis.
Instructions for Brake Pad Use
1. Daily Inspection Points
Under normal driving conditions, check the brake pads once every 5,000 kilometers, including the remaining thickness, wear status, whether the two sides of the wear level is the same, and whether the return position is free, etc., and any abnormality found should be dealt with immediately.
Some vehicles are equipped with brake pad alarm function, when the wear limit is reached, the instrument will alarm to prompt replacement. You can also observe the thickness of the brake pads, listen to the sound and judge whether it is necessary to replace the brake pads according to the braking force.
2.Following Braking Tips
The purpose of braking when following a car is to maintain a safe distance and speed with the car in front, the key is to slowly step on the brake pedal, according to the car in front of the deceleration speed to adjust the speed of stepping on. Pay attention to observe the vehicle in front of the car and the vehicle in front of the vehicle dynamics, to prevent chain tailgating. After braking and decelerating, pay attention to the body shaking and speed changes, and downshift in time.
3.Precautions for replacing brake pads
When replacing brake shoes, you must use a special tool to push back the brake cylinder, and not use other pry bars to prevent the brake pads from jamming.
After replacing the brake pads, you must step on the brake a few times to eliminate the gap between the brake shoes and the brake disc, so as to avoid accidents caused by the first foot without brakes.
Brake Pad Maintenance
Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking damages the brake pads greatly, usually you should brake slowly or spot brake to reduce the wear and tear.
Reduce the frequency of braking: Develop the habit of reducing braking, use engine braking to reduce the speed of the car and then use the brake to further decelerate or stop the car, can be more gear reduction to achieve deceleration.
Regular wheel alignment: Do four-wheel alignment in time when the vehicle runs out of alignment to prevent tire damage and excessive wear of one side of the brake pads.
Pay attention to break-in after replacement: After the new brake pads are replaced, step on the brakes a few times to eliminate the gap, and 200 kilometers of break-in is required to achieve the best braking effect, during which time you should drive cautiously.
