How to use the brake pads to last longer

Jun 16, 2021

In real life, when you are going to drive a long journey, do you care about the thickness of the brake pads? On weekdays, when we are driving on the road, some people may say, “Usually we just drive to and from get off work. The distance is not too far. The road conditions are also very good. There is no big problem. Don’t look at it.” But do you know , Whenever you drive through the speed bump in the underground garage, whenever you step on the brakes and move forward with the traffic, will it bring losses to your car? However, these are hidden in the corners and are not easy to detect.


Many people want to know how long is better. In fact, this question is more difficult to answer. Normally, long-distance running is a way to reduce wear and tear, but the important thing is whether you drive correctly. For example, if you have a good grasp of the brake advance angle during driving, you will find that in most cases you do not need to apply the brakes. Generally, there is no problem in driving 80,000 kilometers.


Of course, if you have to step on it often, it will not extend the life of the product. Most of the time, when we encounter some problems while driving, we suddenly step on the brakes. Generally speaking, novices with poor driving skills often have this situation, which is actually a hidden danger of traffic accidents. We usually have this experience: The car in front is driving at a normal speed, and there is no problem with the road ahead. But people suddenly brake, catching drivers behind by surprise, and may cause a traffic accident. In addition, many people have their feet in only two places when driving: the accelerator and the brake. The frequency of braking is very high. In this way, people have to replace it every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers.

First determine whether to slow down and brake according to the severity of the road conditions, and then decide whether to slow down according to the severity of the road conditions. This saves gasoline and extends its service life. The important thing is to ensure that it is caused by emergency braking.


The direct method of repair is to replace it in time, but the problems that need to be paid attention to in daily maintenance are also indispensable: emergency braking can cause great damage to the product, so pay attention to slow braking or use the braking method to brake during driving, so the wear is relatively small . Then, during normal driving, you should develop the habit of reducing the brakes, that is, you can let the engine brake to reduce the speed of the car, and then use the brakes to further slow down or stop. When you are driving, you can downshift and slow down. In addition, when the vehicle travels for 40,000 kilometers or more than 2 years, the wear is severe. It is necessary to carefully check and regularly check whether the thickness of the brake pads is reduced to a minimum limit. Then, when the brake pad reaches the limit value, the brake pad should be replaced. Under normal driving conditions, check once every 5000 kilometers, not only to check the remaining thickness of the brake pads, but also to check the wear of the shoe, whether the wear on both sides is the same, whether it can be returned freely, etc.
