Why Does My New Car Make a Clicking Sound When Braking to the Full Extent?
1 Answers
New car brakes making a clicking sound when fully pressed is mainly due to the brake discs and pads not being worn in yet, as they are new. This can cause noise during braking. The noise can range from vibration friction to sharp hissing sounds, which typically disappear after a few hundred kilometers. If your new car's brakes make noise, there's no need to worry as long as the car doesn't pull to one side, shake during emergency braking, or deviate from its path. Below are the functions of the braking system: 1. Service Brake: During driving, the service brake (foot brake) is commonly used to slow down the car or bring it to a stop in the shortest distance possible; it also helps maintain stable speed when driving downhill. 2. Parking Brake: The parking brake not only keeps the car stationary but can also be used if the service brake fails. Once the car is parked, the parking brake (handbrake) should be engaged to prevent the vehicle from sliding forward or rolling backward.
