Brake system maintenance methods: 1. Regularly inspect and replace the brake fluid; 2. Brake pads and discs generate iron filings due to prolonged friction and need regular cleaning; 3. If the car shakes when braking, regularly check the brake pads and discs; 4. Be cautious about applying the handbrake after washing the car in winter. The brake system consists of a control system, hydraulic system, and power assist system. The control system includes the pedal, handbrake, etc., while the hydraulic system is composed of hydraulic oil, brake pump, and hydraulic pipes. The working principle of the brake is to convert the kinetic energy of the car into frictional heat energy to dissipate it. Common brake devices include drum brakes and disc brakes.
