How Often Should Brake Maintenance Be Performed?
1 Answers
Brake maintenance is typically recommended every 20,000 kilometers. However, if the brakes are used less frequently, maintenance can be extended to every 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers. The specifics of brake maintenance are as follows: 1. Based on brake pad wear: If the brake pads have worn down to one-third of their original thickness, it's time to replace them. 2. Brake fluid replacement: Like other lubricants, brake fluid has a shelf life and needs to be replaced periodically. Additional information about car brakes includes: 1. Brakes: As the name suggests, they are mechanical braking devices designed to slow down the vehicle, also known as decelerators. 2. Method: The car's brake pedal is located below the steering wheel. Pressing the brake pedal activates the brake lever linkage, which applies pressure to the brake pads on the brake drum, clamping the brake disc and slowing or stopping the vehicle.
