An automobile’s braking system is very complex and made up of several different parts and your Kia is no different. Your rear brake pads are positioned by your brake discs and press into them when the brake pedal is pushed down, this resulting pressure brings your car to a stop. The pressure brake requires your brake pads to be replaced every so often. In general, brake pads should last between 30,000 and 70,000 miles however, driving habits and environment do have an effect on brake pad lifespan.
Driving in Penfield causes a lot of stops be they carefully performed or sudden but no matter how you drive the act of stopping causes a great deal of friction which causes your rear brake pads to wear down. The brake pads are made of a softer material than the parts around them making this type of wear unavoidable however, by paying careful attention you can know when to replace your brake pads before they become a safety hazard.
Your Kia’s braking system is one of its most important safety features and when it starts having issues with its brake pads there are signs that maintenance is needed. When driving, lookout for the following signs or performance issues. Strange noises are a clear sign your brakes need replacing if you hear a grinding noise or screeching when you press down on the brake pedal you should have your brake pads replaced as soon as possible. Other signs include vibrations and indicator lights on your Kia’s dash.
As you drive you need your braking to be precise and predictable as even a second of delay can cause an accident. Worn out brake pads can cause your car to have an increased stopping time and also increase stopping distance both of which can lead to an accident.
