Braking system

What is a wheel cylinder in a braking system?

• A component that applies force to the brake shoes in drum brakes.

• A type of brake pad used in disc brakes.

• A hydraulic fluid reservoir for the braking system.

• A sensor that detects wheel speed for anti-lock braking systems.

How can driving habits affect the lifespan of a braking system?

• Aggressive driving, such as hard braking and rapid acceleration, can wear out brakes faster.

• Driving at a constant speed helps to maintain brake efficiency.

• Frequent use of cruise control reduces brake wear.

• Regular maintenance has no impact on brake lifespan.

Regenerative Braking:

• A braking system that recovers kinetic energy and converts it into electrical energy, which can be stored in a battery.

• A braking system that uses friction to slow down a vehicle.

• A braking system that relies solely on hydraulic pressure.

• A braking system that enhances acceleration by using electric motors.

What is the importance of regular brake maintenance?

• It enhances the vehicle's fuel efficiency.

• It ensures the braking system functions effectively and safely.

• It improves the vehicle's acceleration.

• It reduces the need for tire rotation.

When diagnosing uneven brake pad wear On Disc Brakes: a worn Inner brake pad indicates what?

• Sticking or Stuck Caliper Piston, causing the piston to engage the inner pad and cause it to drag on the rotor.

• Worn outer brake pad due to normal wear and tear.

• Improperly installed brake pads leading to uneven contact.

• Brake fluid leak affecting the overall braking system.

Master Cylinder:

What is a master cylinder?

• A device that measures engine temperature.

• A hydraulic pump that converts pedal pressure into hydraulic pressure.

• A type of brake fluid used in vehicles.

• A component that regulates fuel flow in an engine.

What role does brake fluid play in a hydraulic braking system?

• Brake fluid cools the engine components.

• Brake fluid transmits force from the master cylinder to the wheel cylinders.

• Brake fluid lubricates the brake pads.

• Brake fluid prevents rust in the brake lines.

What is the purpose of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)?

• To increase fuel efficiency during driving.

• To prevent the wheels from locking up during braking, allowing for better control.

• To enhance the vehicle's acceleration capabilities.

• To reduce the noise produced by the brakes.
