What is emergency braking?
1 Answers
Emergency braking refers to the situation when a driver quickly and correctly applies the brakes to stop the vehicle in the shortest possible distance during an emergency while driving. The function of braking is to reduce speed or bring the vehicle to a halt. Its working principle is: by utilizing the friction between the brake pads and brake drums, as well as between the tires and the ground, the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle is converted into heat energy through friction, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle. The maintenance methods for brakes include: 1. High-temperature protection; 2. Cleaning oil stains, dirt, and friction dust from the brake discs, brake drums, and any components to ensure good heat dissipation of the brake discs; 3. Regularly replacing brake fluid; 4. Periodically checking the thickness of brake pads or brake shoes.
