When you drive your car for a long time, do you feel that auto car brake and accelerator become softer? In daily driving, brakes and accelerator are the two driving control components we use most often, which are also directly related to the safety and comfort of daily drivers. However, many car owners tend to neglect their maintenance, resulting in sluggish vehicle response, increased fuel consumption, and even affecting driving safety. Today, we’ll talk about how to properly maintain the Brake Pedal and accelerator, increasing our driving experience, while also allowing rear passengers to sit more comfortably!

1.Brake Pad Maintenance

1.Regular inspection of brake pads

Brake pads are the core component of the brake system, and will gradually wear out with years of use. Generally speaking, the life expectancy of normal brake pads is around 30,000-50,000 kilometres, but if any of the following occurs, you need to pay attention to them and replace them in time:

  • Harsh metallic scraping sound when braking
  • Brakes become soft or lose braking power
  • The brake warning light on the dashboard comes on

2. Maintaining brake discs

Brake discs and brake pads are equally important, and if the discs are badly worn, the braking effect will be affected. You can maintain your brake discs in the following ways:

  • Cleaning the brake discs regularly to avoid accumulation of mud and dirt.
  • Replacing brake discs if they have visible grooves or are unevenly worn.
  • Avoid frequent hard braking to reduce excessive wear of the brake discs

3.Brake Fluid Maintenance

Brake fluid is vital to the stability of the braking system, but it is absorbent and can cause the brakes to become soft or malfunction with prolonged use. Recommendation:

  • Change the brake fluid every 2 years or 40,000 kilometres
  • Use the type of brake fluid recommended by the manufacturer
  • Avoid mixing different brands of brake fluid.

4. Routine inspection of the brake system

In addition to professional maintenance, you can also do a simple self-check of the brake system during your daily journeys:

  • Test the brakes on a flat road surface to feel if there is any noise or shaking.
  • Check the brake fluid level to ensure it is within the normal range.

2.Maintenance of the throttle system

1. Keep the accelerator pedal clean

The accelerator pedal may accumulate dust, mud or other foreign matter after long-term use, resulting in poor pedal response. Recommendation:

  • Clean the accelerator pedal regularly, especially after rain or snow
  • Avoid sand and gravel on the soles of your shoes to reduce wear and tear on the pedals.

2. Maintenance of the throttle cable (for some models)

If your vehicle has a mechanical throttle (not an electronic throttle), maintenance of the throttle pull cable is also important:

  • Regularly check the cable for looseness or wear.
  • Add appropriate amount of lubricant to keep the cable smooth.
  • Avoid using force on the throttle to prolong its service life.

3. Electronic throttle inspection

Most modern vehicles use electronic throttle systems, which are less maintenance, but still require attention:

  • If the throttle response is slow, there may be carbon deposits on the throttle or sensor, which should be cleaned in time.
  • If there is a drop in power when the vehicle is travelling, it is recommended to check whether the throttle sensor is faulty.

4.Throttle Control maintenance

The throttle is responsible for controlling the amount of air entering the engine and directly affects the sensitivity of the throttle. Recommendation:

  • Clean the throttle every 20,000 kilometres, especially if the vehicle is often driven in urban traffic jams.
  • Use high quality fuel to reduce carbon build-up
  • Avoid prolonged idling to reduce carbon build-up.

3. Good Driving Habits is also the key to maintenance

In addition to regular maintenance, it is equally important to develop good driving habits:

✅ Avoid slamming on the brakes and accelerator to reduce the burden on the system.

✅ When waiting for a red light, don’t keep your foot on the brake, and put it in neutral (automatic models need to be careful).

✅ Try to accelerate and decelerate smoothly to improve driving comfort.

4.Summary

Maintaining your auto car brake and accelerator not only extends the life of your vehicle, but also ensures driving safety. Regular checking of brake pads, brake discs and changing of brake fluid, as well as keeping the accelerator pedal and throttle clean, together with good driving habits, will keep your car in the best condition at all times and bring you a safer and smoother driving experience. By paying regular attention to your car’s health, you can have a more peaceful journey! 🚗💨
