Brake pads are the key safety parts in the automobile brake system, and the brake effect plays a decisive role. Automotive brake pads are consumable parts that will wear out after a period of time and need to be replaced. So when do you need to replace the brake pads? What tips do brake pads manufacturers need to replace?
1, driving computer prompts
The general alarm will appear a red word “Please check the brake pad”. Then there is an icon, which is a circle surrounded by dotted parentheses. Generally, it shows that it is close to the limit and needs to be replaced immediately.
2. Brake pads come with alarm tips
Some old vehicle brake pads are not connected to the driving computer, but a small iron alarm is installed on the brake pad. When the friction material is worn out, the brake disc is not worn to the brake pad, but the small iron sheet that alarms. At this time, the vehicle will emit a harsh “chirp” sound of friction between the metals, which is the signal to replace the brake pads.
3. Simple daily self-examination method
Brake pad manufacturers check whether the brake pads and brake discs are thin, you can use a small flashlight to observe the inspection, when the inspection found that the black friction material of the brake pads is fast worn out, the thickness is below 5 mm, it should be considered for replacement.
4. Car sense
If you are more experienced, you may feel the brakes are softer when the brake pads are not there. And this one. It’s the feeling of driving on your own for years.
