How can wet brakes be dried out?

To effectively dry out wet brakes, the method involves slowing down and applying light pressure on the brake pedal while simultaneously pressing the gas pedal. This practice allows the brakes to generate friction, which creates the necessary heat to evaporate moisture and dry the braking components.

When brakes are wet, they may not engage properly, reducing their effectiveness. By gently applying the brakes while in motion, drivers can help restore the normal function of the brakes and improve overall safety. This technique is particularly useful in conditions where sudden stops are not required, allowing drivers to safely manage their speed while drying the brakes.

Other options, such as simply turning on the heater or combining both the heater and brake applications, do not address the core issue of friction and heat generation needed to effectively dry the brakes. The use of heat in the cabin may be beneficial for comfort but does not contribute to the drying process of the brakes themselves. Thus, applying light pressure helps tackle the problem directly.
