Why does Land Rover indicate excessive brake pad wear?
1 Answers
Land Rover displaying excessive brake pad wear is a prompt that the owner needs to replace the brake pads. The brake pads are excessively worn. Below is an introduction about brake pads: 1. Introduction: Brake pads are also known as brake linings. 2. Function: In a car's braking system, brake pads are the most critical safety components. The effectiveness of all braking depends decisively on the brake pads, making high-quality brake pads the guardian of both the driver and the vehicle. 3. Material: Brake pads (brake-lining) are generally composed of a steel plate, an adhesive heat insulation layer, and a friction block. The steel plate is coated to prevent rust, with the coating process monitored by an SMT-4 furnace temperature tracker to ensure quality by detecting the temperature distribution during coating. The heat insulation layer is made of non-heat-conductive materials to provide insulation. 4. Principle: The friction block consists of friction materials and adhesives. When braking, it is pressed against the brake disc or drum to generate friction, thereby achieving the goal of decelerating the vehicle. Due to friction, the friction block will gradually wear out. Generally speaking, the lower the cost of the brake pads, the faster they wear out.
