Don't panic when the truck brakes fail, the old driver teaches you how to save yourself
Whether you are a novice who has just started on the road or an old driver who has been driving for more than ten years, there are basically many bad luck when you encounter brake failure while driving. But is there only despair left when you meet it? Of course not, today I will teach you a few tricks on how to survive in the case of brake failure.
▎3 reasons for brake failure
1. Lack of necessary maintenance of the brake system, too many impurities in the brake master cylinder, poor sealing, vacuum booster pump failure, brake oil too dirty or several brake fluids mixed after heating, brake master cylinder or sub-pump oil leakage, gas reservoir or pipeline interface leakage.
2. Due to improper operation, the machine parts fail, such as long-term downhill will cause the brake pad to rub and generate heat, the brake hub to carbonize, and the brake function to completely fail.
3. Due to serious overload, under the action of gravitational acceleration, the inertia of vehicle movement is increased, which directly leads to brake failure.
▎ Handbrake brake
After the brake fails, you can use the handbrake to brake, the correct way is to slowly pull up the handbrake, and slow down and stop the vehicle in several times by tightening, loosening, tightening, and loosening. It should be noted that the safety button of the handbrake handle should be pressed when pulling the handle of the handbrake, so that the handbrake handle can be operated freely in the process of tensioning and relaxing, and prevent the handbrake from locking when it is tightened.
▎Reduce braking
The manual transmission car can also be stopped by forced downshift, the specific method is to directly hook into the 2nd gear, and then loosen the throttle to lift the clutch, at this time the vehicle will have a sudden braking feeling, and then wait for the opportunity to hook into the 1st gear, at this time you can turn off the electric door, if there is a brake failure in some dangerous sections such as downhill in the suburbs, in order to prevent the danger from further expanding, if necessary, you can use the roadside sand and mud piles, haystacks, ditches, trees, rocks and other obstacles to give the vehicle resistance and stop.
▎Emergency self-rescue measures
1. Seat belts can prevent passengers from rushing to the windshield during emergency braking, if you are not wearing a seat belt, it is best not to try to hold on to fight the collision, which may be more serious than going with the flow, because the deceleration collision is more sudden. At the moment of falling to the collision point, you should stay away from the steering wheel as soon as possible, clasp your arms over your chest, and hold your head in your hands.
2. According to relevant data, the passenger seat is the most dangerous seat, if you sit there, you must first lie on the seat with your head in your hands, or clench your hands into fists, protect your forehead with your wrists, and bend down and raise your knees to protect your abdomen and chest.
3. The best protection for the sleeper is to quickly stretch out one foot forward, put it on the back of the chair in front, bend your elbows in front of your chest, open your hands, protect your head and face, push your back back, and press on the chair.
4. Here we also want to emphasize that if there is a car accident or emergency braking, you should quickly push the armrest or chair back forward with both hands, and push forward with both feet, so that the impact force is consumed and the speed of the body is buffered, so as to reduce the degree of damage. Do not shout when colliding, close your lips tightly and clench your teeth to avoid biting your tongue when colliding. There is a high possibility of a fire in a truck collision, so as soon as the impact stops, everyone must try to get out of the vehicle as soon as possible.
In fact, the performance of trucks is very stable now, and car owners should remember to do a good job of maintenance and inspection, and generally there will be no brake failure. If you do encounter it while driving, please don't panic and stay calm.
Focus on the research and development of automotive brake systems and pneumatic brake valves to promote the development of the auto parts industry!
