What are the three braking methods of motor vehicles?

[VanVera]

There are mainly three braking methods in automobiles, which represent service braking, parking braking, and engine braking respectively. They are the braking methods used in different scenarios. Detailed introduction to the three braking methods of motor vehicles: 1. Service braking: commonly known as 'foot brake'. It is the braking method used during normal driving, mainly by converting the mechanical force of the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure, which is then transmitted to the brake and applied to the four tires of the vehicle to achieve the braking effect. 2. Parking braking: also commonly known as 'hand brake'. It is the braking method used when the vehicle is parked, preventing the vehicle from sliding when stationary. The main working principle involves connecting a steel wire cable to the brake shoe to apply braking, generally acting on the rear wheels of the vehicle. 3. Engine braking: compared to service braking and parking braking, engine braking is somewhat more special. It mainly utilizes the compression resistance, exhaust resistance, and internal friction generated during engine operation to brake the drive wheels. It is generally used in special environments, such as muddy roads and icy conditions.
