What is the reason for the Hongqi HS5's brake pedal being hard to press?
1 Answers
Hongqi HS5's brake pedal being hard to press may be due to the following reasons: Related to pressing the brake after engine shutdown: The braking system operates at maximum efficiency only when the engine is running. When the engine is off, the brake booster ceases to function. Typically, pressing the brake pedal three times will deplete its remaining vacuum force, making the brake feel very stiff. Solution: Simply restart the engine and attempt to press the brake pedal firmly again. Once the engine is running, the brake booster will resume operation, and the brake pedal will return to normal. Brake booster air leakage or malfunction: This could be caused by a faulty brake booster. Possible reasons include vacuum tube leakage or blockage in the brake booster. Solution: If this situation is noticed before driving, it's advisable not to continue driving for safety reasons. It's best to have the vehicle inspected at a repair shop immediately.
