BRAKING
When driving in the rain or through pools of water, even when washing the car,
water may splash up onto the brake discs and linings. This may alter the frictional
properties of the linings.
The brake linings, however, dry fairly quickly with braking, but a certain delay
i n the braking effect can sometimes be noticed.
I f you drive long stretches in the rain or slush, lightly depress the brake pedal
now and again to warm up the linings and thus dry them. This should also be
done when you drive your car immediately after washing it.
