Brake pads are consumables. In daily driving, brakes are often required. Brake wear will reduce the thickness of the brake pads. The thickness of the brake pads has a great influence on the braking effect. The thinner the brake pads, the worse the braking effect and the longer the braking distance. Long, even more unable to stop the car. Therefore, it needs to be replaced regularly. Then, to what extent do the brake pads wear out and need to be replaced?
The thickness of the new brake pads is about 1.5 cm. As the car brakes during use, the thickness will be reduced by friction. Generally, the critical point of the thickness of brake pads is about two to three millimeters. If the thickness of the brake pads is less than 5 millimeters, they need to be replaced in time. If you feel that the brake pedal is light or the brake is strenuous, it also indicates that the thickness of the brake pads is not enough, and you need to check and replace it in time.
Brake pads are generally inspected every 3000 kilometers, and need to be replaced once for 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers, but the specific decision should be based on the actual use and personal driving habits. Generally, there is an alarm pad on the brake pad. If the thickness is not enough, it will wear out. There will be a display on the car dashboard. It is necessary to develop the habit of regular inspections. For newly replaced brake pads, a certain running-in period is required to effectively and maximize its braking effect.
