What to Do If Newly Replaced Brake Pads Are Not Effective?

[DelChloe]

The solution to newly replaced brake pads not being effective is: Find a road with good conditions, accelerate to 100 kilometers per hour, then gently apply the brakes to reduce the speed to about 20 kilometers per hour, release the brakes and drive for about 5 kilometers to allow the brake pads to cool slightly, and then repeat this process about 10 times. Brake pads are composed of a steel plate, a bonded heat insulation layer, and a friction block. Since the newly replaced brake pads and the used brake pads have different degrees of wear and varying thicknesses, the used brake pads have already been worn in with the brake disc, resulting in a larger contact surface and many uneven areas, which provide strong braking force. New brake pads have a smoother surface and a smaller contact area with the brake disc, leading to reduced braking force, which is why newly replaced brake pads may not stop the vehicle effectively.
