Auto Dry Brakes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Cadillac ATS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The auto dry brakes work in tandem with the automatic rain sense windshield wiper system. The auto dry brakes automatically activates when the windshield wipers are in operation, and the vehicle has been traveling over 32 km/h (20 MPH) continuously for more than 6.4 m (4 mi) without using the cruise control. The operation is initiated by the stability system, when a slight amount of pulsing hydraulic pressure is applied to the brake calipers which in turn applies the brake pads to wipe away water from the brake rotors while the vehicle is in motion.
