Brakes 3

Where movement is required brake lines must be:

• Securely fixed to vehicle body

• made from copper pipe as more softer than steel

• made from steel pipe as resistant to movement

• Flexible hoses

A parking brake contains:

• Hand brake lever

• Master cylinder

• Brake hoses

• Disc brake

An Electric Parking Brake applies the brakes to all four wheels

• True

• False

A.B.S. Stands for

• Anti-lock Braking System

• All wheel Brake System

• Absolute Brake System

• Automatic Braking System

Slip Tolerance if the vehicle speed is 40 MPH and the wheel speed is 30 MPH the tolerance is:

• 75%

• 25%

• 30%

• 10%

If while driving the ABS warning lamp illuminates Amber what must the driver do?

• Stop car immediately and then check oil level

• Stop as soon as safe then switch off warning lamp

• False

Some braking systems can re-charge the batteries, these systems are called:

• Electric Parking

• Drive by Wire

• Regenerative Brakes

• DC disc type

Braking system have to do what to kinetic energy

• Destroy it using pressure.

• Remove it with inertia.

• Convert it using heat / friction.

• Convert it to linear energy.

The three phases of ABS are:

• Reduction, Maintenance & Increase.

• Stop, Go & Park

• Reduction, Maintenance & Decrease

• Decrease, Increase & Reduction
