Brakes33


20/24

The majority of todays vehicles use semi-metallic brake pads, which offer

excellent performance. Because of the metal-to-metal contact involvingsemi-metallic pads, the sounds generated by the brake system undernormal operation can be greater than the sounds produced by vehiclesequipped with previous-generation brake pads. Depending on the localenvironment, weather conditions and individual driving patterns, soundsfrom the braking system may be more or less apparent.

Frequent, aggressive brake application increases the wear of brakecomponents and can reduce the potential for brake noise. Frequent, lightbrake application allows glazing to develop on the brake surface, whichincreases the potential for brake noise.

Brake Noise

Brakes

Brake dust is a result of friction created by brake padsand discs during braking. As brake pads and discsmake contact during braking, they wear down, whichcauses dust particles to be expelled. This is a normalcharacteristic of all brake systems and is not an indicatorof a defect.
