In the brake system of the car, brake pads are the most critical safety parts and one of the most frequently used parts in daily driving, and regular maintenance is essential. Industry insiders said that the daily maintenance of brake pads is relatively simple, mainly for regular inspection, pay attention to the thickness of brake pads, timely replacement of brake pads, and reduce the sudden braking can extend its service life.
Generally, the effective use of brake pads is about 40,000 kilometers, which is slightly increased or decreased according to personal use habits. Urban driving due to traffic congestion, the corresponding loss is larger, the owner to minimize the sudden braking, so that the brake pads will get a longer service life.
In addition, it is also recommended that the owner regularly go to the 4S shop for supporting inspections to see whether the relevant parts such as the card issue are loose or displaced. The loose hairpin will cause the left and right two brake pads to wear differently and shorten the service life. In addition, it is also necessary to care for the entire car brake system, increase lubrication, and check whether there are problems such as parts rust. It is recommended that the owner replace the brake oil every year, because the general brake oil is used for 1 year, the water will exceed 3%, and the excessive water will easily lead to high temperature when braking, which will reduce the braking effect of the car
At present, most cars have installed brake pad warning lights, usually the owner will use the brake warning light on the dashboard as a judgment basis for whether to change the brake pad. In fact, the warning light is the last bottom line, which indicates that the brake pads have almost lost their effectiveness. After the brake is completely worn, the brake fluid will decrease significantly, then the brake pad metal base and the brake pad have been in a state of iron grinding iron, and the bright iron cutting can be seen in the tire near the rim of the wheel, and the loss of the wheel hub is great if it is not replaced in time. Therefore, it is recommended that you replace the brake pads that are close to the bottom of their life in advance, and can not rely solely on the warning light to determine.
