Brake system

If the engine flameout in the road, should take
the normal brake but do not use the inching
brake, otherwise the brake pedal will be more
laborious. Even if the engine stalls, there is still
some brake power available for braking, but it is
used when braking. Once the brake assistance is
exhausted, the braking time will be prolonged
and the brake pedal will be more laborious.
Influence factor for braking effect
1. Wear
The wear of brake friction plates depends
largely on the mode of use and driving
conditions, especially for those cars that often
drive in urban traffic and short distances or
drive in sports mode. Therefore, it is very
necessary to check the thickness of brake
friction plate in Authorised dealership within
the specified time interval.
In downhill driving should be timely change
low gear, so as to use the engine brake power,
so as to reduce the brake load. If you want to
increase the braking force, do not continue
braking, but should be interrupted braking.
Wet /sprinkle salt
In some driving conditions, such as in water or
rain after driving, or after washing the car,
because of wet or in winter because of low
temperature brake disc and friction disc ice,
brake action will occur delay lag, must first
brake several times, dry the brakedisc.
In rainy days and wet slippery road driving,
should control the speed, prevent skidding; In
the encounter of water, should be low uniform
speed through. After passing through the section
with deep water, because the brake friction disc
and brake disc will be soaked by water,
affecting the braking effect, to lightly step on
the brake several times, so that the brake parts
to maintain dry recovery performance.
In the salt road, if there is no braking for a long
time, the braking effect will be delayed and
delayed, so it is necessary to remove the salt
layer on the brake disc and friction plate.
3. Plateau environment
Due to the long mountain slope in the plateau
area, the brake has a high use frequency, a long
time and often works continuously under the
forced dynamic working condition. All these
factors will make the braking effect worse.
Therefore, we advise the vehicle not to taxi in
neutral and avoid frequent braking when going
downhill. Use low gear to control the speed
through the braking action of the engine itself,
which can reduce the working intensity of the
wheel brake, reduce the brake temperature.
