Check braking efficiency

Check the efficiency of the brake system is desirable in special brake stand (similar to those used in the traffic police inspection vehicle), as the car is equipped with an anti-lock system does not allow to bring the braking to the wheels Hughes (until a clear traces of braking distance on the pavement). In an extreme case, the approximate comprehensive assessment of the braking system can be done on a level surface, closed to traffic.

Car no load (inner driver only) Acceleration on I transfer to a speed of approximately 15 km / h. Very depress the brake pedal and hold it until the vehicle is stopped.

If there was a skid when braking the vehicle, exit the vehicle and check the traces left by the wheels. Brake trail serviceable wheel drive vehicle with an anti-lock system is very small, almost imperceptible, as the wheel slips and slides on the verge of collapse in skidding. If any wheel is clearly visible next L brake lock it, refer to the service: anti-lock braking system is faulty.

If all the wheels skid marks are visible, but unobtrusive (no black marks left guide rail) and the length of all the tracks on the left and on the right is the same, the braking system is working. Otherwise repair system.
