What is the difference between emergency braking and service braking?
1 Answers
Emergency braking and service braking differ as follows: 1. Service Braking: Service braking refers to the act of pressing the brake pedal, which is used to slow down the vehicle during normal driving. It is a braking method employed when the distance to the vehicle ahead is too close, allowing the driver to reduce speed and maintain a safe following distance. 2. Emergency Braking: Emergency braking, in simple terms, involves pressing the brake pedal fully and quickly in response to a sudden situation, bringing the vehicle to a stop in the shortest possible distance. This braking method is only used in emergencies and represents a very extreme form of braking. 3. Maintenance Methods: Primarily conducted during the vehicle's primary maintenance, this involves draining accumulated water and sediment from the fuel tank and checking for oil leaks at pipe connections and switches.
