Maxus eT9: reduced braking efficiency after heavy rain or muddy/snowy roads
Symptoms
- Braking efficiency decreases noticeably after driving in heavy rain or on muddy or snowy roads. [1]
Possible causes
- The brake friction components are wet; ice or salt may accumulate on brake pads and discs in winter. [1]
Checks
- Check whether this occurs under the wet-road conditions or winter ice/salt conditions above, and pay attention to braking performance. [1]
What to do
- Maintain a safe following distance and, as instructed in the manual, apply the brakes lightly at intervals to dry the friction components and remove ice and salt. [1]
Applicability and limits
- Only applies to the Wet state situation in the English eT9 manual on the Maxus Switzerland official website; do not use it to explain persistent braking abnormalities on dry roads. Scope: unknown [1]
Related part categories
- Brake friction pads [1]
- Brake discs [1]
