Check and adjust the free travel of the brake pedal

If the free travel is too large, the braking effect will be weakened and the driving will be dangerous. If the free travel is too small, the car brake will be dragged and power loss will be caused. The free travel of the brake pedal must be checked and adjusted regularly according to the car maintenance cycle. If there is no free travel, it will be very uncomfortable to step on it, and it may even cause yourself to lock.
