The car is not necessarily safe to drive slowly, the brakes can be braked, the brakes are stable to be safe, many car owners will often ignore the maintenance of the brake system, Xiaobian will come to you today to talk about the problem of brake maintenance.
The maintenance and inspection of the brake system is roughly divided into two parts, one is the brake fluid and the other is the brake pad.
Brake fluid is mainly to check whether the amount is enough, whether the water content is excessive, the brake pad is mainly to check the thickness, do a good job in these points, basically the brake is no problem.
Whether the brake fluid is sufficient
This is actually very simple, you can do it yourself, open the engine compartment cover regularly, and the general brake fluid tank is set in the upper right corner area.
There will be two tick marks max and MIN on the reservoir, as long as the liquid level of the brake fluid is maintained between the two tick lines, then it is sufficient.
If it is not enough, you must add brake fluid in time, otherwise it will cause the problem of the braking force falling, and it is very dangerous to stop the car.
The moisture content of the brake fluid
The brake fluid in the reservoir will continue to absorb the moisture in the air, and over time, the moisture content of the brake fluid will slowly increase, resulting in a decrease in braking force or even brake failure.
Therefore, the inspection of the moisture content of the brake fluid is the top priority, but this is more professional, can not be completed by themselves, is the time to maintain the time, by the way let the master check you.
In order to ensure the effect, is to replace the brake fluid regularly, so as not to have too high water content, the general brake fluid is 2 years or 40,000 kilometers to replace, but because of the different brands, the replacement cycle is not the same, is to detect the water content, timely replacement of zui is safe.
The thickness of the brake pads
When the thickness of the brake pad is close to or lower than the specified zui small thickness, it is necessary to replace the brake pad immediately, otherwise the braking effect will be affected.
At the same time, it is also necessary to check the wear of the brake disc, if the surface of the brake disc begins to appear dented, it is necessary to deal with the repair in time to ensure that the contact area between the two is sufficient and the braking force is improved.
These two inspections must also be carried out by professionals, so when doing maintenance, let the master help you check and deal with it.
Disassemble the brake system without permission
Some car owners pursue personality, may want to spray brake calipers into other colors, in order to spray the effect, they will privately disassemble the brake system.
If the installation is not in place or is wrongly installed or missed, then the braking effect will be greatly reduced, or even directly failed.
So in this case, if you really want to do it, or ask professional people to help, don't do it yourself, or after you do it yourself, let the professionals help check and check, so that it is foolproof.
The quality of the brake system plays a vital role in driving safety, usually it is necessary to check and maintain it in a timely and regular manner, and do not wait until it is necessary to use it, only to find that there is a problem.
