Does Emergency Braking Affect the Car?
1 Answers
Occasional emergency braking does not cause significant damage to the vehicle, but frequent emergency braking can have negative effects. The main hazards of long-term emergency braking include: reduced tire lifespan and increased wear; decreased engine lifespan; shortened clutch system lifespan; increased fuel consumption; accelerated wear of brake pads and discs; and hastened aging of brake calipers and master cylinders. Additional information: 1. Braking System: The automotive braking system refers to a series of specialized devices that apply force to certain parts of the vehicle (primarily the wheels) to achieve controlled deceleration. Its functions are: to enable moving vehicles to decelerate or stop as required by the driver; to keep parked vehicles stationary under various road conditions (including on slopes); and to maintain stable speed control for vehicles descending hills. 2. Brake Pads: Also known as brake linings, these are friction materials fixed to rotating brake drums or discs. The friction linings and blocks withstand external pressure to generate friction, thereby achieving vehicle deceleration.
