Precautions After Replacing Brake Pads?
1 Answers
After installing new brake pads, the surface of the pads is smooth, while the contact surface on the brake disc is uneven. Therefore, it is necessary to perform a break-in process after replacing new brake pads. The method for breaking in brake pads is as follows: 1. Find a place with good road conditions and few vehicles to start the break-in. Accelerate to 60 km/h, gently apply the brakes, and use moderate braking force to reduce the speed to about 10 km/h. 2. Release the brakes and drive a few kilometers to allow the brake pads and discs to cool slightly before repeating the above steps at least 10 times. 3. After the break-in, the brake pads still require several hundred kilometers to achieve optimal performance with the brake discs. During this period, drive carefully to prevent accidents.
