The importance of the car brake system need not say more, the owners should be very clear, once there is a problem to solve it is more troublesome. The braking system generally includes brake pedal, brake booster, brake alarm light, handbrake, brake disc, as long as there is any fault should be paid enough attention to. Take the brake pad, although not too frequently replaced, but in the replacement of the time must pay attention to mileage or cycle, if too long time has not been replaced, it will largely affect its performance. So, brake pad how many kilometers to change once, must change the original factory? Many owners do not know, today we will understand it.
Brake pad replacement is closely related to mileage, but the two are not positively correlated. That is to say, there are other factors that affect the cycle of brake pad replacement, such as the driving habits of the owners, the vehicle environment and so on. For the vast majority of ordinary owners, brake pads generally in 25,000-30,000 kilometers or so can be replaced once, if the driving habits are good, usually few feet on the brake, and driving conditions are good, just used as a commute, can properly extend the brake pad replacement cycle. In fact, the owners can also determine whether the brake pad needs to be replaced by the following methods.
First, you can check the thickness of the brake pads. The thickness of the new brake pads is about 15 millimeters, and after a long time of use, the pads will become thinner and thinner due to wear. If you find that the thickness of the brake pad is only about one-third of the original, that is, about 5 mm, then you can consider replacing the brake pad.
Second, you can also feel the wear of the brake pad by stepping on the brake. If the normal driving on the brake issued similar to the sizzling sound between iron and iron, then it can indicate that the brake pad has been worn quite seriously, need to be replaced as soon as possible, otherwise it is likely to cause brake failure. Of course, this method is relatively difficult to see the thickness of the brake pad directly, because there are more other noises when the car is running, such as wind noise, tire noise, these noises are likely to cover up the sound of the brake pad when stepping on the brake. In addition, for some old drivers with rich driving experience, you can also judge the degree of wear of the brake pad by stepping on the brake foot sense, the brake step down the soft is more difficult, the braking distance is significantly longer, it can also show that the brake pad needs to be replaced in time.
So, whether the replacement of brake pads must choose the original factory? This is not necessarily, the most important thing is to see the quality and performance of the brake pad, as long as these two points can be met. Secondly, when replacing the brake pad, we should pay attention to the friction coefficient, too high easy to cause the wheel to lock, too low easy to brake, to choose a moderate friction coefficient. Of course, but also consider the comfort of brake pads, such as some brake pads step down noise, even smoke, odor, dust, such brake pads are obviously unqualified, should be replaced as soon as possible.
