Brake system
Geeral descriptions
Disc brakes are installed on all four wheels of
the vehicle.The booster helps reduce the force
required to the brake pedal.
The driving brake system has two sets of brake
pipes.One line failed and the other stopped the
vehicle properly.However, the brake pedal must
be pressed harder than usual.Go to Authorised
dealership for maintenance as soon as possible.
Placing the foot on the brake pedal while the
vehicle is in motion will cause the brake to
operate slightly and generate heat, thereby
reducing brake effectiveness and shortening the
life of brake friction pads and reducing fuel
efficiency.Braking lights on all the time can also
cause confusion among rear drivers
When going down a long slope, continuous use
of the brake will make it accumulate heat,
thereby reducing the effectiveness of the brake
At this point, the foot should be removed from
the accelerator pedal and should be shifted to a
lower gear to use the engine to assist braking.
After passing through deep water, the brake
must be checked.Step on the brake moderately,
see if it feels normal.If abnormal, should
frequently light step on the brake until it returns
to normal.
The braking operation includes sensing time and
reaction time.
First, to decide whether to step on the brake
pedal, this is the feeling time.Then you have to
lift your foot and press the pedal. That's the
reaction time
The average reaction time is about three
quarters of a second.But that's just the average
time. Maybe one driver's reaction time is shorter,
but the other driver's reaction time is two to
three seconds, or even longer.Age, physical
condition, alertness, coordination and vision all
affect reaction times, as do alcohol, drugs and
depression.Even though the reaction time is
about three-quarters of a second, when the
vehicle speed is 100km/h,
Vehicles will also travel 20 meters, too far in an
emergency.So it's important to have a good
distance from other cars.
Of course, the actual braking distance varies
greatly depending on the road surface (highway
or sand road), road conditions (wet, dry, icy),
tire tread, brake condition, vehicle weight and
brake force size.
Avoid slamming on the brake pedal
unnecessarily.It is wrong for some drivers to
drive too hard, such as slamming on the
accelerator pedal and then the brake pedal,
rather than keeping pace with traffic.The brake
has no time to cool down between successive
emergency braking, and if the brake pedal is
frequently slammed, the brake wear will be
accelerated.Keeping pace with the flow of
traffic and keeping a certain distance will
greatly reduce unnecessary braking, which will
improve braking effect and extend brake life.
