What is the method for replacing brake fluid in an electric vehicle?
1 Answers
Replacing the brake fluid in an electric vehicle involves the following steps: 1. Open the car's hood and locate the brake fluid reservoir; 2. Remove the reservoir cap and inspect the quality of the brake fluid; 3. Use a syringe to extract all the old brake fluid from the reservoir and then add new brake fluid. Brake fluid has hygroscopic properties, and if not replaced for a long time, it can corrode the braking system, potentially creating safety hazards while driving. Since absorbed moisture lowers the boiling point of brake fluid, it can lead to insufficient braking pressure and affect the vehicle's braking performance. It is recommended that owners replace the brake fluid every two years or every 40,000 kilometers.
