How To Better Use Brake Pads
In the braking system of the car, brake pads are the most critical safety parts, and are one of the most frequently used parts in daily driving, and regular maintenance is necessary. People in the industry said that the daily maintenance of brake pads is relatively simple, mainly for regular inspection, focusing on the thickness of brake pads, changing the brake pads in time, and reducing the emergency brake can extend its service life.
Generally, the effective use of brake pads is about 40,000 kilometers, which is slightly increased according to personal usage. Due to the traffic congestion, the corresponding losses are larger in urban areas, and the car owners drive to minimize the sudden braking, so that the brake pads will get longer service life.
In addition, it is also suggested that the owner should check with the 4S shop regularly to check whether the relevant parts such as the hair card are loose or shifted. The release of the card will cause the two brake pads to wear different degrees and shorten the service life. In addition, the whole car brake system needs to be taken care of, increase lubrication, check whether there are parts rust and so on. Recommended annual replacement brake oil, because the brake oil usually use 1 year, the water will be more than 3%, excessive water produced in high temperature water vaporization is easy to cause the brake, it will reduce automobile braking effect.
At present most cars have installed brake warning lights, and usually the car owner will use the brake warning light on the dashboard as the basis for judging whether or not to change the brake pads. In fact, the warning light is the bottom line, which means that the brake pads are almost useless. Brake completely after grinding, the brake fluid will have fallen sharply, the metal base pads and brake pad has been in a state of iron sharpens iron, can close to the edge of the wheel rim the tyres see lively iron cut, do not change in time is a big loss for the wheel hub. Therefore, it is recommended that you change the brake pads that are close to the end of the life limit in advance, and you can't rely on the warning lights only.
