The wear and tear on the brake pads is dependent on the operating conditions and driving style. In difficult conditions (e.g. urban, sporty driving), the condition of the brakes should be checked between services by a specialist garage. Brake response can be slower if the brakes are covered in moisture or, in winter, have a layer of ice or salt on them.
The brakes should be cleaned and dried by applying the brakes many times over. Before negotiating a long or steep gradient, reduce speed and shift down a gear. As a result, the braking effect of the engine will be used, reducing the load on the brakes.
If, nevertheless, there is a need for additional braking, it should be carried out at intervals. The brake booster increases the pressure generated with the brake pedal. The brake booster only operates when the engine is running.
