What Causes the Brake Pedal to Be Too Hard to Press Down?
1 Answers
The reason why the brake pedal is too hard to press down is due to air leakage or failure of the car's vacuum booster pump. Below is relevant information about brakes: 1. Precautions: To prevent "jerky" braking, if the braking distance is sufficient, you can slowly and steadily press the brake pedal to decelerate. When the car is about to stop, you can gently release the brake pedal until the car comes to a complete stop. 2. Braking on slopes: Braking on uphill sections is similar to braking on flat roads—both require gently pressing the brake pedal. However, the release should be quicker than on flat roads. On downhill sections, avoid prolonged braking as it can easily overuse the brake friction pads, reducing their effectiveness. Instead, use intermittent braking (pump braking) to decelerate and bring the car to a stop.
