Brake can be said to be very important and very easily damaged auto parts, once the brake problem may cause serious traffic accidents, I believe that many people are more aware of the importance of the brake, then how to maintain the brake?
1.To replace the brake pads according to the mileage
The braking effect of a car is ultimately determined by the brake pads, so maintaining the good condition of the brake pads is the most direct maintenance method of the brake system. Brake pads and brake discs (drums) have a service life and must be replaced when they wear to a certain extent. The normal use of general urban driving, their life is about 50,000 kilometers, the life of the brake pad is about 30,000 kilometers, but the specific situation depends on the operation of the owner, it is best to check once every 10,000 kilometers.
2. Replace the brake oil regularly
Brake oil is in addition to the brake pads, the impact on the brake system is very far. Some maintenance focus is to ensure that it does not deteriorate, especially to pay attention to prevent water infiltration. The brake oil should be replaced once every 50,000 kilometers, and the oil change cycle should be appropriately shortened if it is driven in humid areas for a long time.
3. The new car should pay attention to the running-in of the brake system
New cars have a run-in period in the early days of use, an indispensable part of which is the run-in of the brake system. The first 1000 kilometers of the new car run-in is very critical, the brake system also needs to run in, it is best not to have emergency braking. In order to run smoothly, the clutch must be stepped on before braking, but this is only a temporary solution during the extraordinary period, after 1000 kilometers, in order to extend the life of the clutch, or “first brake after”.
4.when the car runs off, it must be adjusted immediately
When braking, the car obviously runs to the left or right, which is caused by the front wheel brake is not synchronized, and it is easy to have an accident due to braking to the left (right), especially when driving at high speed, you must immediately go to the repair shop for brake adjustment.
