What Should You Do When the Service Brake Fails?
1 Answers
Methods to handle service brake failure: 1. Stay calm and avoid panic; 2. Utilize engine braking to decelerate promptly; 3. Maintain firm control of the steering wheel; 4. Activate the hazard warning lights as soon as possible; 5. If at night, alternate between high and low beams; 6. Engage the parking brake firmly; 7. Look for a soft obstacle to help stop the vehicle. The brake is essentially the same as the service brake, which is divided into service brakes and parking brakes. During driving, the service brake is used to slow down or stop the vehicle while moving forward, not just to keep the car stationary. If the service brake fails, the parking brake should be used. Once the vehicle is stopped, apply the parking brake to prevent the vehicle from sliding forward or rolling backward.
