Brake wear depends on the style of   driving,   particularly   in   the   case o

f vehicles used in town, over short
distances.
  It   may   be   necessary   to   have

After
  washing   the   vehicle,   dampness,  
o

r in wintry conditions, ice can form
on
  the   brake   discs   and   pads:   braking  
e

fficiency   may   be   reduced.   Make   light
