In order to brake more quickly and conveniently, it is very necessary to check the car brake system regularly. The main component of the brake system is the brake pad. Therefore, the maintenance of the brake system can be said to be the inspection of the brake pad.
Usually, every driving 5000 kilometers to check the brake pad once, not only to check the remaining thickness, but also to check the status of shoe wear, wear on both sides is the same degree, return is free, etc., found abnormal situation must be dealt with immediately.
Brake shoes are generally composed of two parts: iron lining and friction material. Do not wait for the friction material to wear out before replacing the shoes.Some vehicles have brake shoe alarm function, once the wear limit is reached, the meter will alarm to prompt the replacement of the shoe. The shoes that reach the limit of use must be replaced, even if it can still be used for a period of time, it will reduce the effect of braking and affect the safety of driving.
After the replacement of the brake pad, it is necessary to step on a few feet of the brake to eliminate the gap between the shoe and the brake disc, resulting in no brake on the first foot, which is prone to accidents.
Brake pad replacement, need to run 200 kilometers to achieve the best braking effect, just changed shoes must be careful driving.
