Zorluk: OrtaBraking Systems and ABS

While driving on an open road, you press the footbrake pedal and find that the hydraulic braking system has failed completely. In which sequential order should you carry out the following actions to bring the vehicle to a safe, controlled stop?

  1. 1Pump the footbrake pedal rapidly to check for residual hydraulic pressure.
  2. 2Shift progressively down through the gears to use engine braking.
  3. 3Gently apply the parking brake while keeping the ratchet release button held in.
  4. 4Steer the vehicle onto a safe verge or refuge area and switch on the hazard warning lights.

Cevap

The correct sequence is: first, pump the footbrake pedal rapidly to try to restore pressure; second, change down through the gears sequentially to utilize engine braking; third, apply the parking brake gently while holding the release catch; finally, steer the vehicle safely off the carriageway and switch on the hazard warning lights.
When total hydraulic footbrake failure occurs, the driver must first rapidly pump the footbrake pedal to check if residual pressure can be restored. The next step is to downshift progressively through the gears to allow engine braking to shed high-speed momentum safely. Once the car has slowed sufficiently, the mechanical parking brake can be applied gently while keeping the release button depressed to prevent a rear-wheel skid. Finally, the vehicle should be guided safely off the carriageway onto a verge or refuge area and the hazard warning lights activated.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Attempt to compress any residual brake fluid by rapidly pumping the footbrake pedal.
Determines whether partial hydraulic pressure can be temporarily recovered in a dual-line circuit.
This is the fastest immediate check before moving to secondary retardation methods.
2
Select lower gears sequentially to exploit engine compression resistance.
The vehicle safely sheds significant kinetic energy and road speed.
Engine braking slows the driven wheels smoothly without the danger of an instantaneous rear-wheel lockup.
3
Carefully draw up the mechanical handbrake lever while depressing the ratchet release button.
Provides mechanical friction to bring the decelerating vehicle to a full stop.
Holding the release button allows variable control so the rear tyres do not lock and initiate a skid.
4
Guide the car onto the verge or an emergency refuge area and turn on hazard warning lights.
The immobilised vehicle is stationed safely out of moving traffic flow.
Clearing the running lanes prevents collisions with following road users.
