It mainly depends on the material of the brake disc. Although the braking effect is good, the carbon content is relatively high, and the surface is not protected against rust, so rust is inevitable. Here is some relevant information: Brake disc: It is a round disc that also rotates when the car is moving. The brake caliper clamps the brake disc to generate braking force. When you press the brake, it clamps the brake disc to slow down or stop the car. The braking effect of the brake disc is good, and it is easier to maintain than drum brakes. Classification: Brakes include disc brakes, drum brakes, and air brakes. Many older cars have disc brakes in the front and drum brakes in the rear. Many newer cars have disc brakes on both the front and rear. Because disc brakes dissipate heat better than drum brakes, they are less prone to thermal fade during high-speed braking, resulting in better high-speed braking performance.

Do cars still need a break-in period?

Nowadays, cars still require a break-in period. Here are the methods to use during the break-in period: 1. Pre-heat the cold engine. Properly warming up the engine allows the oil to lubricate the internal components effectively, reducing wear and tear; 2. Shift gears promptly while driving, especially for manual transmission cars. During the break-in period, it is necessary to change gears appropriately to avoid situations like high gear with low RPM or low gear with high RPM; 3. New cars need timely maintenance during the break-in period. Driving a car requires the owner to familiarize themselves with aspects such as the brakes, throttle, suspension, steering force, and gear-shifting logic to better understand the car's performance.

What does the ABS light on the dashboard indicate?

The ABS light on the dashboard indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's Anti-lock Braking System. The working principle of ABS is: during emergency braking, it relies on highly sensitive wheel speed sensors installed on each wheel to detect wheel lock-up. The computer then controls the pressure regulator to release pressure from the wheel's brake cylinder, preventing wheel lock-up. The functions of the ABS system are: 1. To prevent loss of vehicle control, increase braking distance, and improve vehicle safety; 2. To enhance the overall braking performance of the vehicle; 3. To prevent wheel lock-up during braking; 4. To ensure the driver can control the direction during braking and prevent rear axle skidding.
