Daily inspection of brake discs
1. Regularly check brake disc thickness: Brake discs gradually wear during use and must be replaced when their thickness falls below the manufacturer's specified limit. Typically, brake discs have wear indicators that, when rubbed by the brake pads, produce an abnormal sound, reminding the owner to replace the brake discs.
2. Observe the condition of the brake disc surface: The brake disc surface should be flat and smooth, free of cracks, deformation, or severe uneven wear. If any abnormalities are found, the cause should be immediately investigated and repaired or replaced in a timely manner.
3. Check the fit between the brake disc and the wheel hub: Ensure that the brake disc is securely installed to the wheel hub without looseness, to prevent damage to the brake disc or impact on braking performance due to vibration.
Maintenance and care of brake discs
1. Keep clean: Regularly clean the brake discs to remove oil stains, dirt, and other impurities adhering to the surface, preventing impact on braking performance. Be sure to use special cleaners to avoid corroding the brake disc surface.
2. Avoid high-temperature prolonged braking: Prolonged continuous downhill driving or emergency braking after high-speed driving can cause the brake discs to overheat, accelerating wear. Judicious use of engine braking to reduce the frequency of brake use helps extend brake disc life.
3. Correct driving habits: Smooth starting, even acceleration, and early deceleration, avoiding sudden braking and frequent braking. These good driving habits can effectively reduce brake disc wear.
4. Regularly replace brake pads: Brake pads and brake discs form a friction pair, and the wear of brake pads directly affects the brake discs. Therefore, regularly checking and replacing brake pads as recommended in the vehicle maintenance manual is an important measure to protect brake discs.
