Brake system (BMW 5 Series E34)

            0

During the running-in period, avoid excessively sharp braking at high speed, prolonged load on the braking system when driving in the mountains, etc.

Only with proper operation during the running-in period do the brake pads and discs acquire a high-quality working surface.

The parking brake system is not connected to the service brake system and has independent brake shoes and drums that also need to be run in.

Practical advice



Do not warm up the engine at idle, immediately start driving at medium speed. Only at very low temperatures, leave the stationary car to run at high speed for 30 seconds to ensure reliable lubrication of the engine. Do not allow a cold engine to run at high speed, this significantly reduces its service life.

When putting a load on the engine, such as when accelerating and driving uphill, keep the engine speed above 1500 rpm if possible (especially when moving up).

Caution: Do not keep your foot on the brake pedal all the time. Light but constant pressure on the pedal may not be noticeable while driving, but it will cause the brake pads to overheat and wear out, which may eventually cause the brake system to fail.


Advice: After prolonged driving at low speed (in the city, in a column, etc.) it is recommended to drive several kilometers, maintaining the engine speed above 3000 rpm. This will clean the combustion chambers of carbon deposits.


Caution: When driving on roads covered with water or wet mud, reduce speed as a wedge of water may form between the tire and the road surface. This condition, known as hydroplaning, may result in partial or complete loss of contact with the road surface, loss of vehicle control and braking ability.


The trunk lid must be closed while driving to prevent exhaust gases from entering the passenger compartment.
