How to Perform Emergency Braking in a Car?
1 Answers
Emergency braking is performed by: quickly lifting the accelerator pedal and immediately pressing the brake pedal firmly while simultaneously pulling the handbrake lever sharply to bring the car to a rapid stop. Below are three expanded explanations on braking systems: 1. Service Brake: This is the standard braking method used during normal driving. It primarily converts the mechanical force from the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure, which is then transmitted to the brakes and applied to all four tires of the vehicle to achieve the braking effect. 2. Parking Brake: Commonly known as the handbrake. It is used when the vehicle is parked to prevent the car from sliding. Its main working principle involves using a steel cable connected to the brake shoes to apply braking force, typically acting on the rear wheels of the vehicle. 3. Engine Brake: This method primarily utilizes the compression resistance, intake/exhaust resistance, and internal friction generated by the engine to brake the drive wheels.
