The brake system is extremely important for the safety of the car. During the use of the car, you should pay attention to check the brake fluid and brake pads. Problems in these two aspects will threaten the safety of the brake.
The brake fluid level is too low: Keep the brake fluid level normal. When the oil level is below the lower limit, it should be added in time to close to the upper limit.
The brake fluid is not replaced regularly: The vehicle should be replaced in time after driving 40,000 kilometers normally or the brake fluid has been used continuously for more than 2 years.
Mixing brake fluids of different brands: Brake fluid is a chemical product. Mixing may react or corrode the brake system. Other oils and liquids such as fuel and windshield water should not be mixed into the brake fluid.
Using inferior brake fluid or brake fluid is not suitable: For example, in winter, you should pay attention to whether the brake fluid is adapted to the local minimum temperature.
The brake system leaks oil: The vacuum tube should be ensured to be intact and the ABS pump should be normal.
Brake pad wear: Observe whether there are scratches, grooves and cracks on the surface, and pay attention to the thickness of the brake pad and the degree of wear of the brake disc. There is a protruding mark on both sides of each brake pad, which is the limit of the thinnest replacement of the brake disc. It is generally believed that the brake pads should be replaced when there is 1/3 of the remaining
thickness.
If you feel that the brakes are biased, the brakes are light or heavy, or the brakes are difficult to brake, it indicates that there may be problems with the brake system and it should be repaired immediately.
