STARTING AND DRIVING
452
Braking on wet roads
When driving for a prolonged period of time
in heavy rain without braking, the braking
effect may be delayed slightly when next
using the brakes.
This may also be the case after a car wash. It
is then necessary to depress the brake pedal
more forcefully. You should therefore maintain
a greater distance to the vehicles in front.
Brake the car firmly after driving on wet roads
or using a car wash. This warms up the brake
discs, enabling them to dry faster and protect-
ing them against corrosion. Bear in mind the
current traffic situation when braking.

Braking on gritted roads (p. 452)
Braking on gritted roads
When driving on salted roads, a layer of salt
may form on the brake discs and brake lin-
ings.
This may extend braking distance. You should
therefore maintain a greater safety distance to
vehicles in front. In addition, make sure you do
the following:
•
Brake now and again to remove any layer
of salt. Make sure that other road users
are not put at risk by the braking.
•
Gently depress the brake pedal after fin-
ishing driving and before starting your next
trip.

Brake system maintenance
Check brake system components regularly
for wear.
To keep the car as safe and reliable as possi-
ble, follow the Volvo service intervals as speci-
fied in the Service and Warranty Booklet. After
replacing brake linings and brake discs, brak-
ing effect is only adapted after they have been
"worn in" for a few hundred kilometres (miles).
Compensate for the reduced braking effect by
depressing the brake pedal harder. Volvo rec-
ommends only fitting brake linings that are
approved for your Volvo.
The wear on the brake system's compo-
nents must be checked regularly.
Contact a workshop for information about
the procedure or engage a workshop to
carry out the inspection - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.
