Under certain driving conditions, for example, long-term movement in the water, in heavy rain, and after washing the car, there may be some delay the brakes because of the presence of moisture on the brake discs and pads (and also because of the frost in winter). It is timely to dry discs and pads, activating the braking system.

The delay of the full operation of the brakes can be observed when driving on the roads have been gritted. In the case over a relatively long period of time the brake pedal is not used, when the brake is first cleans the working surfaces of the brake discs and pads formed on the layer of salt on them.
