Abnormalities in the Vehicle Braking System?

Car braking system's condition determines the safety of passengers inside the vehicle. Only when it is in a healthy state can it successfully decelerate or even stop the vehicle according to the driver's intention. Therefore, any abnormalities should be repaired immediately. Here are some common abnormalities in the vehicle braking system: 1. If the warning light on the dashboard lights up, it indicates a problem in a certain part of the braking system. You should go to a 4S shop for inspection and repair immediately. Ignoring it and continuing to use the vehicle may lead to unimaginable consequences. 2. After releasing the brake when starting the car, if you notice friction sounds between the brake pads and the brake disc, this is not an abnormal phenomenon. 3. The handbrake cable will lengthen after being used for a period of time, which is also normal. The handbrake cable is composed of multiple metal wires and has a certain degree of elasticity under force. After some time, it will be slightly longer than when the car was new, but this will not affect the parking brake function. 4. Rust on the brake disc may affect its use. The brake disc is mainly made of iron. If the vehicle is not used for a long time, the brake disc will react with oxygen and moisture in the air, causing oxidation, i.e., rust. However, during driving, the rust will be removed through the operation of the braking system, and it will not affect normal use. 5. The brake disc heats up after use. This is because braking is achieved through friction between the brake disc and the brake pads, during which kinetic energy is converted into mechanical energy and heat energy, thus generating some heat.
