Accidents happen every game has a fuse, because many accidents are caused by brake failure, brake failure harm so many older drivers are chilling, then, in driving the process, if encounter a sudden brake failure How to do? What emergency measures have it?
Emergency brake failure approach
1, with the use of engine braking handbrake
automatic models: the brake pedal down attempt to forcibly brake the car can be substantially reduced to a very low speed, then the position of the shift lever to pull over N range (Neutral) on the line.
manual model: when the manual transmission models found brake failure, to release the accelerator pedal, the clutch slam by successively downshift, this would produce an engine traction, braking of the wheels of the vehicle produced by the traction engine effect, when the first speed gear down, with the hand brake deceleration.
2, using the terrain or the emergency lane
Open car warning light, whistle to remind you pay attention to the front of the vehicle to give way, and in time to find the right sections of deceleration, such as highway or continuous uphill or downhill the emergency lane road settings. The emergency lane on the right side of the main lane highway in a lot down the road or highway continuous downhill section will be set up, if brake failure may try to enter the emergency lane, lane gravel there to help slow down.
3, the use of roadside obstacles
If the above does not apply only to consider the use of roadside obstacles reduce the speed, of course, this is a method of last resort, because not only dangerous, but also damage to the vehicle. If the right side of the car or the mountain highway guardrail, the car slowly open to the street direction, grasp the steering wheel with both hands, rub the cliff or fence.
Since brake failure as the serious harm that while driving, how to judge the braking system problems?
A sign of brake failure
1, brake shudder: This situation occurs mostly in old car body, because wear large brake disc surface flatness has been a certain degree of misalignment. It can be polished or direct replacement brake disc brakes to resolve.
2, brake weakness: This is usually due to the transmission line to provide a pressure loss of the pressure caused by the pretext of the brake master cylinder check booster vacuum hose and the engine if there is a crack or loose condition.
3, the brake hard or soft: hard braking may be the reason for the vacuum brake booster failure resulting in frequent or no booster brakes and the like. Typically the soft brake for three reasons: a hydraulic cylinder or master cylinder is not enough (oil); disc brake pad or brake failure; leak into the air brake line. Then we must timely check and replace components.
I remind the owner: everyday car, do not have luck, focus on car maintenance and repair, car multi-point grasp the knowledge is still very necessary, so we can invite more friends attention, learn a little more with car keep a car knowledge, a little less dangerous.
