As we all know, the braking system is often used in the driving process of the vehicle. As a car owner, you must learn to use it skillfully. So what should you pay attention to when braking? If it is driving after rain, pay attention to reduce the driving speed and lightly step on the brake pedal to avoid accidents.
If it is a short-distance deceleration and parking, the speed of stepping on the brake pedal can be faster and the pedal stroke can be larger. However, excessive braking will make passengers in the car feel uncomfortable, so try to avoid excessive braking.
If the car is wading or washing the car, the surface of the brake disc or drum will be wet with water, resulting in a braking effect. At this time, we can lightly step on the brake pedal a few times to let the brake heat up and dry as soon as possible, and the braking effect can be normal.
If the car is driving continuously down a long slope in a mountainous area, avoid frequent use of the brakes to overheat the brakes, and put the low gear in advance to make full use of engine braking. If there is a retarder, it is better to use a retarder to slow down.
If there is snow or ice on the road, emergency braking should be avoided to prevent tail flicking. If there are signs of tail flicking, immediately release the brake pedal, and then continue to lightly step on it after the car is stable, and use the "point brake" method to complete the braking.
If driving at high speed, release the accelerator pedal as soon as possible and use the engine brake to reduce the speed. When the brake pedal is stepped on, the "point brake" should be used to gradually brake the car, so that the signal of the rear brake light flashes many times with the brake pedal, which attracts the attention of the car behind and can also prevent tail flicking.
