Service life of brake pads

We are about to enter the dog days. Everyone says that the weather in summer is like a girlfriend's face, constantly changing, so the unpredictable weather also brings many hidden dangers to our driving. Today, I will talk about the most crucial but easily overlooked aspect of the entire vehicle, which is the braking.
In hot summer, if the Brake pads are not maintained in a timely manner, it is easy to experience longer braking distances and increased Brake noise. So we should reasonably adjust the frequency of Brake pad replacement based on the degree of vehicle wear. So how to maintain the Brake Pads in summer? It's actually very simple. We can prevent vehicle braking failures through daily driving. However, many car enthusiasts do not develop good driving habits and awareness in their daily driving, resulting in them not knowing how to handle emergencies after accidents occur. Therefore, today we will talk about the replacement frequency of summer brake pads and what precautions should be taken!




1. brake pads: In hot summer weather, car owners need to fully immerse the brake pads in brake fluid before braking. Because high temperatures can make brake pads brittle and easily crack! So don't rush to increase your speed to high speed in summer, and don't frequently change lanes or slow down too much during daily driving, as temperature can cause certain chemical reactions in these two systems and accelerate wear! 2. Brake disc: In hot summer weather, both the Brake System and engine are prone to overheating. Therefore, when the vehicle is driving in a high-temperature environment, it is necessary to regularly check whether the temperature and pressure of the brake disc meet the standards. If the brake disc is already overheated and not hot, but there is still pressure that has not been released, then it is time to go to the 4S store for timely inspection and treatment!


2. Precautions during maintenance
The braking system is a very precise machinery, which requires us to pay more attention to some details in our daily lives. Firstly, we should master some correct maintenance methods. The maintenance of different car models also varies. For example, if the brake system of a automatic transmission model is worn seriously, it needs to be replaced according to the actual situation. In addition, it should be noted that excessive force should not be used when replacing the brake pads, nor should the brake calipers be damaged by brute force. Due to the different driving habits and road conditions of each driver, many people have differences in the maintenance and operation methods of the brake system. For example, some people feel that even the newly replaced brake pads can be used without the need to check and confirm again, but others feel that there is no need to check again and there is no problem.
