1. Importance of Regular Brake Maintenance
9
Routine brake maintenance ensures safety,
prevents unexpected failures, and extends the
lifespan of your Volvo XC60s braking system,
reducing the risk of costly repairs.
10
2. Checking and Replacing Brake Pads
11
Brake pads wear down over time, requiring regular
inspection and timely replacement to maintain
effective braking performance and prevent damage
to rotors.
12
3. Inspecting and Resurfacing Brake Rotors
13
Worn or warped rotors can cause vibrations and
reduced stopping power, making regular
inspections and resurfacing essential for smooth
and efficient braking.
14
4. Flushing and Replacing Brake Fluid
15
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, leading
to reduced braking efficiency replacing it every
2-3 years prevents brake fade and ensures
consistent performance.
16
5. Examining Brake Lines and Hoses
17
Cracked or leaking brake lines can compromise
braking efficiency, making it crucial to inspect
them regularly for any signs of wear or damage.
18
6. Assessing Brake Calipers and Hardware
19
Faulty brake calipers can cause uneven braking
and premature pad wear, so regular checks ensure
proper function and prevent unnecessary repairs.
