How Many Kilometers Should a Teana's Brake Pads Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Teana's brake pads generally need to be replaced every 40,000 kilometers. The Teana uses brake pads produced by Hitachi. As an important wear component of the braking system, the friction linings and friction blocks of the brake pads bear external pressure to generate friction, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicle deceleration. Below is relevant information about brake pads: 1. The friction blocks of brake pads are composed of friction materials and adhesives. When braking, they are pressed against the brake disc or drum to generate friction, achieving the goal of vehicle deceleration and stopping. Due to friction, the friction blocks gradually wear out. Generally, the lower the cost of the brake pads, the faster they wear out. Once the friction materials are used up, the brake pads should be replaced promptly; otherwise, the steel plate will come into direct contact with the brake disc, resulting in loss of braking effect and damage to the brake disc. 2. Braking relies on the friction between the brake pads and the brake disc, as well as between the tires and the ground, converting the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy through friction to stop the car. A good and efficient braking system must provide stable, sufficient, and controllable braking force, along with excellent hydraulic transmission and heat dissipation capabilities, to ensure that the force applied by the driver to the brake pedal is fully and effectively transmitted to the master cylinder and slave cylinders, while avoiding hydraulic failure and brake fade caused by excessive heat.
