Disc brakes are constantly cooled by oncoming air flow. With the 2.8L six-cylinder engine, the front disc brakes are additionally cooled: there are large recesses around the perimeter of the brake disc that evacuate air and thus enhance cooling.
Disc brakes in wet weather
In prolonged rain, uncovered brake discs are intensively watered, so the braking effect manifests itself with a fraction of a second delay. Moisture between brake discs and pads must first evaporate. In winter, this phenomenon occurs with particular force, since the layer of salt that has settled on the brake discs and linings must first be erased during braking.
