What are the holes on the brake discs for?
1 Answers
The main functions of the holes on brake discs: Grooves are made on the brake pads, and holes are drilled on the brake discs. These gaps and grooves increase airflow, enhance heat dissipation performance, and quickly remove dust generated by friction, significantly improving the brake pads' resistance to heat fade and making driving safer. Here are some braking techniques: 1. Emergency braking: Some vehicles are not equipped with ABS, so it is not recommended to press the brake pedal fully at once. Instead, press it twice in succession to prevent wheel lock-up, which could cause skidding and loss of steering control. 2. Braking in rainy conditions: When driving on wet roads, avoid slamming the brake pedal or turning the steering wheel abruptly. After passing through water, it's best to gently press the brake pedal twice to use inertia and friction to remove water from the brake discs, preventing brake failure during sudden stops. 3. Braking when following another vehicle: The main purpose of braking while following another car is to maintain a safe distance. Therefore, press the brake pedal gently. Besides observing the braking of the car in front, also pay attention to the movements of the vehicles ahead of it. If you notice the car in front braking, place your foot on the brake pedal in advance to prepare for sudden stops.
