The brake system is crucial to the safety of the car. According to statistics, the main cause of more than 50% of serious traffic accidents lies in the brake system. Many friends who drive often report that their brakes are soft, so can the softness of the car’s brakes be adjusted?
In fact, what we usually call soft and hard brakes refers to the relationship between the force of the foot on the brake and the actual braking speed of the vehicle. Soft brakes mean that the foot is strong and the deceleration is slow, while hard brakes mean that the force is strong and the deceleration is fast.
The softness of the car’s brakes can be adjusted
If you don’t want the brakes to become soft, you must replace the brake oil regularly. If the brake oil is not replaced in time, it will contain too much impurities and moisture. This will affect the transmission of braking force. If conditions permit, the moisture content of the brake oil should be tested at the maintenance company. There is also a common situation: the master brake cylinder or brake oil pipe leaks, which will also cause the vehicle’s brakes to become soft. If the brake material is too soft, the high temperature stability will deteriorate. This will also cause the vehicle’s brakes to become soft. So you should also pay attention to checking this aspect at ordinary times.
There is also a kind of soft brake caused by personal reasons. Many drivers like to use their toes to lightly step on the brake. But in an emergency, they often can’t stop the car. This is because you cannot push the brake pedal all the way to the bottom in an instant when you use your toes to brake. In order to ensure safer driving, you must use the force from your toes to the soles of your feet when you step on the pedal.
