1.1.42.1. What reduces efficiency of braking?

GENERAL INFORMATION

Under certain conditions movements, for example, at long movement on water, at a heavy rain, and also after a wash of the car, some delay of operation of brakes because of availability of moisture on brake disks and blocks (and also because of availability of hoarfrost in the winter) is possible. It is necessary to dry in due time disks and blocks, putting in action working brake system.

Delay of complete operation of brake mechanisms can be noted at movement on the roads salted. In case during rather long time a brake pedal did not use, at turning on of brake mechanisms at first there is a cleaning of working surfaces of brake disks and blocks of the layer of salt formed on them.
