Ontario AZ Licence Practice Test 2026: Übungstest 4

1. Frage 1 von 25

   What applies the spring brakes?

   • AThe driver's foot on the pedal
   • BA large spring, which air pressure holds back
   • CAir pressure pushing on the diaphragm
   • DHydraulic fluid
   Antwort anzeigen

   Antwort: B. A large spring, which air pressure holds back

   Spring brakes are applied by a strong spring and released by air pressure, so they apply when air is lost.

2. Frage 2 von 25

   The low air pressure warning must come on before pressure drops below what level?

   • A690 kPa (100 psi)

   Antwort: B. 380 kPa (55 psi)

   The warning is defective if it does not activate or if it activates below 380 kPa (55 psi). Most activate at 414 kPa (60 psi) or higher.
