Car Brakes are the most important part of the car in terms of safety of the driver and passengers in the vehicle. Break fail has been shown a lot in our Hindi movies which then lead to accidents. We often take the Braking system for granted, but when we suddenly have to stop the vehicle to avoid any accident, we actually realize the importance of the brakes of the cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Brakes are devices that stop something from moving, generally by applying force to a moving part that converts the movement\u2019s energy into heat. In cars, there are two types of brakes. These are drum and disc brakes, both of which work by applying pressure to part of the wheel which stops movement. Improvements to braking technology are always being made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
<\/strong>Anti-Lock braking technology adds additional safety to braking systems. The ABS is a mechanism that enables you to safely apply brakes effectively on a slippery surface and prevents skidding. It consists of speed sensors, pump, valves, and a controller and ensures additional safety if you are driving on wet roads, roads with oil spillage, or snow-clad roads.
On normal roads, you can drive your car without an ABS or EBD (Electronic Braking Device) and not face any issues. However, if you are driving car on slippery road surface, and have to apply emergency brakes, there is a high chance that your wheels will skid on the road surface and may lead to accidents. The ABS\/EBD ensures uniform braking on all wheels in all types of weather. In the absence of ABS\/EBD, you could experience differential braking leading the car to sway to either side in times of emergency braking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Brake Inspection
<\/strong>You should get your brakes inspected every 6 months or every 5000 km.
Brake system inspection and servicing is crucial for any vehicle. Brake Discs, Brake Pads and Brake Lines are checked during inspection and serviced to avoid any breaking system malfunctioning. If you do not perform regular brake servicing, you can experience the following problems:
\u2022 Possibility of brake failure leading to accidents
\u2022 Brake pads getting worn out which can damage the brake disc
\u2022 Dust from brake pads can clog the piston and calliper pins
\u2022 Clicking sounds while braking due to wear and tear of calliper pins
If the vehicle makes a screeching noise when we engage the brakes, it could mean that the brake pads do not have any friction material left anymore, and now the exposed metal of the brake pad is rubbing against the metal of the rotor. If you are experiencing this sound, you need to urgently get your brakes inspected and possibly replace your brake pads, as ignoring this could lead to further irreversible damage to other parts of your braking system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the vehicle has become increasingly difficult to stop, and the brake pedal appears to travel much further than it used to, it could be due to Brake pads wearing out which is leading to lesser-than-desired friction when they are applied
\u2022 Failure of ABS on a slippery road
\u2022 Failure of booster
\u2022 Leakage in air pipes
If you sense this issue, it is time to get your brakes inspected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Brake Fluid
<\/strong>Brake fluid is a hydraulic fluid used in hydraulic clutch and hydraulic brakes. Most commonly used brake fluids today are glycol-ether based; however, we also have mineral oil and silicone-based brake fluids in the market. Brake fluid must be changed at least once every two years or after every 30,000 km<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Brake Pads
<\/strong>There are four different types of brake pads available in the market:
\u2022 Semi-metallic pads
\u2022 Non-Asbestos Organic (NAO) pads
\u2022 Low-Metallic Non-Asbestos Organic Pads
\u2022 Ceramic Pads<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Brake pads are typically expected to last:
\u2022 30,000 km for automatic transmission cars
\u2022 50,000 km for manual transmission cars
If you listen to squealing sounds or feel that the pressure on the brake lever has reduced or see a warning symbol on your speedometer, kindly get the brake pads checked to ensure your safety by having better braking performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
