How to Check the Wear Degree of Tiggo 3 Brake Pads?
1 Answers
There are three methods to check the thickness of Tiggo 3 brake pads: 1. When the brake pads are visibly only 1/3 remaining: When the brake pads are visibly only 1/3 of their original thickness, increase the frequency of self-inspection and prepare for replacement; 2. There are raised marks on both sides of the brake pads: When the thickness of these raised marks on both sides of the brake pads is about 2-3 millimeters, it's time to replace them; 3. When the thickness difference between the two sides of the brake pads reaches 1.5mm: For brake pads on fixed calipers, replace them when the thickness difference between the two sides reaches 1.5mm. For brake pads on floating calipers, replace them when the thickness difference reaches 3mm. Below is an introduction to brake pads: 1. Composition of brake pads: Brake pads are generally composed of a steel plate, a bonded heat insulation layer, and a friction block. The heat insulation layer is made of non-heat-conducting materials to insulate heat. The friction block consists of friction materials and adhesives, which generate friction when pressed against the brake disc or drum during braking; 2. Function of brake pads: They generate friction when pressed against the brake disc or drum during braking, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle.
