Drive to Make Your Jaguar Brakes Last

Want to get the best value when it comes to the brakes on your Jaguar? Pay attention to your driving style. First keep in mind that speed kills, not only when it comes to safety but also your brake pads. Braking just from 65 mph instead of 55 takes a third more energy, which comes off your brake pads. And never use your left foot on the brake pedal, even if you are left handed (or left footed). This avoids simultaneously pushing both pedals, which again can be a serious safety issue as well as wear out your brakes faster. And think ahead. Be aware of when you’ll need to slow down, especially when you drive certain routes habitually. Coast whenever possible and save those brake pads.
