After driving through water or washing your car, your brakes may become wet. Wet brakes are very dangerous. Your car will not stop quickly when the brakes are wet. To dry your brakes, apply them gently while driving until braking becomes normal, being careful not to lose control of your car.
Do not roll downhill in neutral. This is very dangerous. Always keep the transmission engaged while the vehicle is moving, use the brakes to slow the vehicle, then downshift so that engine braking helps maintain a safe driving speed.
Avoid driving in a manner that requires sudden braking. Do not keep your foot on the brake pedal all the time while driving, this can be dangerous as it causes the brakes to overheat and become less efficient. It also causes increased wear of the brake system components.
If a tire gets punctured while driving, apply the brake pedal lightly and try to keep the car straight while slowing down.
If the car has an automatic transmission, do not allow the car to slowly move forward. To do this, when the car is stopped, keep your foot on the brake pedal.
Take precautions when parking on a slope. Apply the parking brake and move the selector lever to the "P" position (automatic transmission) or the gearshift lever to the first or reverse position (manual transmission). When parking on a slope, turn the front wheels toward the curb to prevent the car from rolling. When parking on an incline, turn the front wheels away from the curb to prevent the car from rolling. If there is no curb or you need to prevent the car from rolling for other reasons, block the wheels.
In some conditions, the parking brake may freeze when engaged. This may happen when snow or ice accumulates around the rear brakes, or when the rear brakes are wet. If there is a risk that the parking brake may freeze, engage it only temporarily until you move the selector lever to the "P" position (automatic transmission) or the gearshift lever to first or reverse to lock the vehicle's wheels. Then release the parking brake.

Do not hold the vehicle on a slope using the accelerator pedal. This may cause the transmission to overheat. Always use the brake pedal or the parking brake.
