The correct method of running in new brake pads (brake pad peeling method)
It is an important braking part of the car and an important part to ensure the safety of the driver. Brake pads are divided into disc brakes and drum brakes. The materials generally include resin brake pads, powder metallurgy brake pads, carbon composite brake pads, and ceramic brake pads. After replacing the new brake pads, it is necessary to carry out running-in in order to effectively exert its braking effect. Let’s take a look at the specific running-in method (commonly known as peeling):
1. After the installation is completed, find a place with good road conditions and few cars to start running;
2. Accelerate the car to 100 km/h;
3. Lightly step on the brakes and brake with moderate force to reduce the vehicle speed to about 10-20 km/h;
4. Release the brake and drive for a few kilometers to cool down the temperature of the brake pads and pads.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 above at least 10 times.
Precautions:
1. In the braking of 100 to 10-20km/h each time, it is not strictly required to have a very accurate speed every time, and the braking cycle can start when the acceleration reaches about 100km/h;
2. When you brake to 10-20km/h, there is no need to keep an eye on the speedometer. Just keep your eyes on the road and make sure to pay attention to road safety. About every braking cycle, brake to about 10-20km/h h is fine;
3. During these ten braking cycles, do not brake until the vehicle stops, unless you want the brake pad material to be integrated into the brake disc, thereby causing brake vibration;
4. The running-in method of the new brake pads is to use the step-by-step point brake for braking as much as possible, and do not use the sudden brake before the running-in is complete;
5. After running-in, the brake pads still need to go through hundreds of kilometers of running-in period with the brake disc to achieve the best performance. At this time, you must drive carefully to prevent accidents
