Importance of Brake System Service
According to the standards, brake pads must be measured with a special tool. For this reason, the Brake Service Times displayed on the Central Information Screen and the Measured Value may differ. Brake Pad Wear Depends on Usage. When changing pads, the discs should be measured with a special tool, the brake channels should be cleaned, and the pads should be polished.
BRAKE PAD CHANGE
Brake pads are one of the most important parts of the vehicle's system consisting of brakes and shock absorbers. It can be said that it is the last stage of a series of sequential processes that start after you press the brake pedal. When you press the brake pedal of the vehicle, you activate the oil in the system. Hydraulic oil affects the system under pressure. Hydraulic oil pumped into the hoses in the system squeezes the brake pads and puts pressure on the brake discs, and the vehicle stops or slows down with the power of the pads.
When to Replace Brake Pads?
There is no clear time given for the pad replacement in question. Many factors such as the vehicle's engine power, total weight, and the way the vehicle is used affect the life of the pads. However, the most important factor in brake pad system failure or wear, and therefore in pad replacement, is the frequency of applying the brakes. It is necessary to obtain information on this subject during periodic maintenance. Generally, brake pads are checked every 15 thousand km. If wear is detected during these checks, replacement must be made. Problems such as brake pad failure, wear and tear endanger safe driving.
