Factors Influencing Braking Effect
1. Abrasion
The wear of brake linings depends on the
conditions of use and driving mode, especially
for those vehicles that often travel in urban
traffic and on short distances or in sport.
Therefore, it is very necessary to check the
thickness of brake lining block within the time
interval of maintenance.
2. Wet or salty roads
Wet road: When driving in water or heavy rain,
or after car washing, or when freezing in winter,
the brake disc and brake lining block are wet,
which will lead to lower braking efficiency. The
brake pedal should be lightly pressed to make
the brake dry and resume its performance.
Salt road: If the brake is not used for a long time,
there will be salt layer on the brake disc and
brake lining block, and the braking efficiency
will be reduced. Driver should be lightly
pressed the brake pedal for clearance disc, for
remove the salt layer on the brake disc and
brake lining block.
3. Mountain Environment
Because of the high frequency, long time and
continuous working under high-intensity
braking conditions, these factors will make the
braking efficiency worse. Therefore, when the
vehicle is downhill, do not skid in neutral gear
and avoid frequent braking. As
far as possible, use low gear to control the speed
through engine auxiliary braking, which can
reduce the working strength of wheel brake and
the temperature of brake. When using
engine-assisted braking, the lower the
transmission gear, the higher the engine speed,
the greater the drag force and the more obvious
the braking effect.
4. Plateau environment
Because the air is thin and the air pressure is
low in Plateau area, the vacuum power of brake
will be reduced, so the brake pedal force should
be applied more when braking in Plateau area.
When braking is needed, the braking pedal
should not be pressed on by point braking, but
should be kept on the braking pedal to ensure
braking efficiency by controlling the braking
pedal force.
5. Ice and snow weather
Because of the low friction coefficient of ice
and snow pavement, the braking distance will
be greatly extended when braking, and the
braking distance will increase with the increase
of vehicle speed. Therefore, when driving on ice
and snow pavement, special attention should be
paid to controlling vehicle speed and keeping
more safe distance with front and side vehicles.
Warning
●Ski on ice and snow road is rigorously
forbidden
6. Surface Rust of Brake Disc
If the vehicle is parked for a long time, the
brake disc may be rusted and the brake lining
block may be dirty. It is recommended to drive
at low speed and brake several times before
driving to clean the brake disc.
7. Brake system failure
If you find a sudden increase in braking distance
or a longer stroke of the brake pedal, there may
be a fault in the braking system.
