When the brake pads are smoking, it is recommended to park the car on a flat surface without a slope, release the handbrake, and put it in neutral. Then, try to push the car. If it doesn't move or is difficult to push, that means the rear wheels are locked. If it moves easily, there is another possibility: brake fluid from the rear wheels may be leaking onto the brake disc, causing high temperatures during braking that lead to evaporation or even burning and smoking. Regardless of whether it is one of the above reasons or some other issue, it is advisable for drivers to have their vehicle checked at a repair shop, as safety is the top priority.

1. If the brake pads are smoking due to frequent braking causing high temperatures, avoid frequent and prolonged braking.
2. If the organic content in the brake pad formula is substandard or the manufacturing process is unstable, it can also cause smoking; the solution is to replace the brake pads.
3. If the brake pads are not installed properly, causing friction and smoking, they need to be reinstalled.
