What Causes Heavy Brakes and Failure to Start?
1 Answers
The reason for heavy brakes and failure to start is: The owner stepped on the brakes several times after turning off the engine, causing the vacuum in the brake booster to disappear. Without the booster assistance, it becomes difficult to press the brake pedal, and the booster pump does not operate when the engine is off. Solutions for heavy brakes and failure to start: 1. Try restarting the engine; 2. Press the brake pedal firmly; 3. After starting, normal operation will resume. Braking precautions: 1. During low-speed driving, emergency braking can be applied when encountering sudden events ahead by firmly pressing the brake pedal, but this should not be done at high speeds to avoid vehicle skidding or rollover; 2. During normal driving conditions, gradual braking is recommended—press the clutch pedal while releasing the accelerator pedal, shift to a lower gear, and after the speed decreases, release the clutch pedal and press the brake pedal until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
