Which has greater pressure, front or rear, when braking a Mercedes-Benz sedan?
2 Answers
The front wheels of a Mercedes-Benz sedan experience greater pressure than the rear wheels when braking, because the front wheels have a larger inertial effect. During braking, the front of the car continues to move forward due to inertia, exerting continuous pressure on the front wheels. Here are some braking precautions: 1. When stopping the vehicle during normal driving, press the brake pedal once and release, then press it again. Repeat this process to bring the car to a gradual and stable stop. 2. Avoid slamming on the brakes during the braking process, as this can cause the driver and passengers to lurch forward. 3. When stopping on rough or uneven roads, do not brake too hard. Such roads often have many sand particles or stones, and sudden braking can easily cause the vehicle's tires to skid, leading to potentially serious consequences. 4. When driving on long downhill sections, use engine braking and avoid hard braking. Applying intermittent braking can help the vehicle slow down smoothly.
I just came out of the 4S dealership after discussing Mercedes-Benz braking systems. When driving a Mercedes sedan, you can clearly feel the front wheels braking more aggressively when you step on the pedal. During braking, the entire car lurches forward, transferring all the weight onto the front wheels, so the front wheels need stronger braking force to stop the car steadily. Mercedes' system is quite intelligent, using EBD to automatically distribute pressure and prevent wheel lock-up. When driving in the city and lightly braking at red lights, the car doesn't nod or wobble. For safety, it's important to develop anticipatory braking habits and avoid frequent hard braking that could damage the car. Mercedes handles this better than regular cars, with exceptionally smooth control.
