The car brake system is very important, it is related to the safety of driving, the brake pad is an important part of the brake, the maintenance of the car brake pad is very important for the car! In many kinds of car accidents, the cause of the accident that we often hear is the failure of the brakes. The failure of the brakes is very terrible. Therefore, car owners should also check and maintain the brake pads frequently when maintaining the car.

1. Try to avoid sudden braking

The emergency braking can cause great damage to the brake pads, so you should pay attention to slow braking when driving normally, or use the point brake method to brake, so that the wear of the brake pads is relatively small.

2. Reduce the frequency of braking

When driving normally, it is necessary to develop a good habit of predicting and reducing braking. When driving at ordinary times, you can let the engine reduce the speed of the vehicle, and then use the brakes to further decelerate or stop. When driving, you can downshift more often.

3. Check the brake pads frequently

When the vehicle has been driven for 40,000 kilometers or more than 2 years, the brake pads are relatively worn. It is necessary to check carefully and regularly to see if the thickness of the brake pads has been reduced to the minimum limit value. If it has reached the limit value, it must be replaced. Brake pads. Under normal driving conditions, check the brake pads every 5,000 kilometers. Not only check the remaining thickness of the brake pads, but also check the wear state of the shoe pads, whether the degree of wear on both sides is the same, and whether the return is free, etc.

4. Regularly position the wheels

When the vehicle has problems such as deviation, it is necessary to do the four-wheel alignment of the vehicle in time to avoid damage to the tires of the vehicle, and it will cause excessive wear of the brake pads on one side of the vehicle.

5. Pay attention to the sound of the brake pads

If you can hear the sound of grinding iron during normal braking when driving, it means that the brake pads have been ground to the brake disc, and the brake pads should be replaced in time, and the damage of the brake disc should be carefully checked.

6. Pay attention to running-in when replacing the brake pads

When the vehicle is replaced with new brake pads, it is necessary to step on the brakes a few more times to eliminate the gap between the shoe and the brake disc and cause the first foot to fail to brake, so as to avoid accidents. In addition, it takes 200 kilometers to run in to achieve the best braking effect, and the newly replaced brake pads must be driven carefully.
