Wet conditions can impair the effectiveness of drum brakes. What should you do?

Under wet conditions, drum brakes can lose effectiveness because water can get inside and reduce friction. The correct response is to carefully drive and gently apply the brakes. This helps generate heat, which dries out the brakes and restores their effectiveness. Applying the brakes repeatedly while stationary does not help dry them out, and simply refilling the brake fluid is not related to this issue. Remember, drying the brakes by careful driving is the appropriate action when drum brakes are affected by water. This approach will help keep your brakes working properly in wet weather.
