How to prevent car brake overheat ?

When you press the brakes, the friction between the brake pads and the rotors generates heat. If the heat isn't dissipated properly, the brakes can overheat, causing a decrease in their effectiveness. This can happen due to aggressive braking, overloading the car, or driving in hilly/mountainous areas.

There are few ways to avoid brake overheat.

Avoid sudden and aggressive braking

Try to avoid sudden and aggressive braking frequently as this puts a lot of stress on your brakes and can cause them to overheat.

​

Downshift instead of using brakes

When driving downhill, downshift instead of using brakes as this helps to slow down the car without putting excessive strain on the brakes.

​

Avoid overloading

Avoid overloading your car with too much weight as this puts extra strain on the brakes and can cause them to overheat.

​

Use high-quality brake pads

High-quality brake pads are designed to handle high temperatures and can help prevent brake overheating.

​

Check your brake fluid

Make sure your brake fluid is at the proper level and is clean. Dirty or low quality brake fluid can cause your brakes to overheat.

​

Upgrade your brake system

If you frequently drive in hilly or mountainous areas, you may want to consider upgrading your brake system to one that can handle high temperatures better.

​

Allow brakes to cool

After driving in hilly or mountainous areas, pull over and let your brakes cool down before continuing your journey. This helps prevent brake overheating and damage to your vehicle's braking system.
