Understanding Brake Systems in Vehicles

What is the primary function of a brake system in a light commercial vehicle?

• To increase the vehicle's speed

• To stop or slow down the vehicle

• To enhance fuel efficiency

• To improve aerodynamics

Which of the following is a type of brake system commonly used in light commercial vehicles?

• Hydraulic brake system

• Pneumatic brake system

• Electromagnetic brake system

• Frictionless brake system

What component is responsible for transmitting the hydraulic force from the master cylinder to the brake pads?

• Brake rotor

• Brake caliper

• Brake line

• Brake drum

Which brake component is typically found in a disc brake system?

• Brake shoe

• Brake drum

• Brake pad

• Brake cable

What is the primary purpose of brake fluid in a hydraulic brake system?

• To lubricate the brake components

• To transfer hydraulic force from the master cylinder to the brakes

• To cool the brake system

• To clean the brake components

Which specification is crucial when selecting brake fluid for a vehicle?

• Colour

• Boiling point

• Viscosity

• Odour

What is a common procedure in brake maintenance?
