1.1.42.2. Overheat of brake mechanisms
GENERAL INFORMATION

Never "grind" brake slips, pressing down without need a brake pedal. It conducts to an overheat of brake mechanisms, lengthening of a brake way and the increased wear of brakes.

Before movement on long abrupt descent lower speed, be switched to lower transfer { a mechanical transmission) or choose lower step (an automatic transmission). It you use brake qualities of the engine and facilitate work of brakes.

At installation during operation on the car of various spoilers,
полноразмернык mudguards, etc. it is necessary to make sure that it will not worsen air intake to forward brake mechanisms, otherwise brake mechanisms will heat up too strongly.
