What are the precautions for summer maintenance of heavy truck brake pads?
In the hot summer, if the brake pads are not maintained in time, it is easy to have a longer braking distance and a larger braking noise. Therefore, the frequency of replacing brake pads should be reasonable according to the degree of vehicle wear. So how to maintain the brake pads in summer?
It's actually quite simple. We can prevent vehicle braking failure through daily driving. However, many card friends do not develop good car habits and good awareness in their daily driving, which leads to accidents but they don't know how to deal with them urgently. Therefore, the replacement frequency of brake pads in summer and what should be paid attention to!
I. Service life of brake pads
The service life of brake pads is generally about 6-8 years, so card friends should pay attention to replacing brake pads. Moreover, it should be noted that the service life of brake pads of different models is different. If we find that our car brake pads are badly worn, we should replace them in time.
Special attention should be paid to: during the process of frequent braking, there will be some small wear on the surface of the brake disc. At this time, check the brake pads for abnormal wear immediately. If you find that the brake of Kayou is abnormal, you must go to the repair shop to replace it in time!
Second, matters needing attention in summer
1. Brake pads: It is hot in summer, so the owner needs to put the brake pads into the brake fluid completely before braking. Because high temperature will make the brake pads brittle and easy to crack! So don't rush to increase the speed to high speed in summer, and don't change lanes frequently or slow down too fast in daily driving, because the temperature will make these two systems have a certain chemical reaction and accelerate wear!
2. Brake disc: It is hot in summer, and the brake system and engine are easy to overheat. Therefore, when the vehicle is driving in a high temperature environment, it should always check whether the temperature and pressure of the brake disc are up to standard. If the brake disc is overheated and not hot, but the pressure is still not released, it is necessary to go to the 4S shop for inspection and treatment in time!
Three. Problems needing attention in maintenance
The braking system is a very precise machine, which requires us to pay more attention to some details. First of all, we must master some correct maintenance methods. The maintenance of different models is different. For example, if you are an automatic transmission model, the brake system will be seriously worn and need to be replaced according to the actual situation.
In addition, it should be noted that when replacing the brake pads, don't use too much force, and don't damage the brake calipers. Because each driver's driving habits and road conditions are different, many people have different maintenance methods and operation methods for the brake system. For example, some people think that the newly replaced brake pads can be used and do not need to be checked again, but some people think that it is no problem to check again.
