The development of automobiles is a double-edged sword, on the one hand, the popularity of private cars makes people's lives more convenient and faster, improving travel efficiency, on the other hand, the increase in car ownership also makes traffic accidents more and more frequent. Traffic accidents can be roughly divided into two categories, one is active factors, such as traffic accidents caused by the driver's operating skill level, and the other is passive factors, such as traffic accidents caused by vehicle breakdowns during driving. Whether active or reactive, we can reduce accidents by improving our driving skills and frequently inspecting the key components of our cars.
The importance of automobile braking system to driving safety is self-evident, and there are many traffic accidents caused by brake problems every year. In these accidents, brake failure is the main culprit. Therefore, in the daily process of using the car, we must pay attention to the maintenance of the car brake, and regularly check the working status of the brake and its key components. Brake pads are worn parts of the entire braking system.
In general, the staff of the 4S shop will inspect the car when it comes to maintaining it. If it is excessively worn, it must be replaced. But how often do car brake pads be replaced? On this point, a mechanic told the truth that if the brake pads wear out below this value, they must be replaced.
In fact, there is no standard answer to how many years car brake pads can be used, because everyone's driving Xi is different, and the frequency of using brakes is also different. Some people drive recklessly, like to accelerate sharply and decelerate, in this case, the wear of the brake pads is quite serious, and some people drive gently, step on the brakes very gently, on the road like to make predictions in advance, the frequency of use of brake pads is relatively low, the car has been driven for 5 years, and the brake pads may still be used normally, and in rude driving conditions, the brake pads will be replaced even in 3 years.
Under normal circumstances, car manufacturers require that the brake pads must be changed after driving about 50,000 kilometers, and if you continue to drive beyond this kilometer, the braking effect may not be ideal, which will naturally bring potential safety hazards to driving. Of course, this is only a comprehensive standard for manufacturers, how often to replace the brake pads have to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, if the brakes are not light or heavy during driving, the standard of 50,000 kilometers can not be reached when replacing the brake pads.
Therefore, it is unscientific to judge whether to replace the brake pads by the number of kilometers traveled, and the most feasible way is to judge according to the degree of wear and tear of the brake pads, which is not only intuitive, but also very accurate. In the case of not affecting driving safety, is there a standard answer to the replacement of brake pads? For this question, the car repairer said that the thickness of most new car brake pads before use is usually 1 cm, and they must be replaced when they are worn to about 0.3cm after use, otherwise they will affect the braking performance and bring hidden dangers to driving safety.
In addition, the owner usually in the process of driving, can also be judged by the sound of braking, if the brake sound is abnormal, such as squeaky sound when stepping on the brakes, then it is necessary to stop immediately to check the degree of wear of the brake pads, to determine whether it needs to be replaced. The importance of the car's brakes for driving safety is self-evident, we must pay attention to the inspection in the process of driving, rather than replacing it according to the number of kilometers specified by the manufacturer, which is very unsafe.
Regarding the replacement of car brake pads, a master who has repaired the car for 10 years said that any kind of money can be saved, but do not save the money for replacing the brake pads, what are your opinions or opinions?
