What applies the spring brakes?
- The driver's foot on the pedal
- A large spring, which air pressure holds back
- Air pressure pushing on the diaphragm

Ver respuesta
Respuesta: 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.

Ver respuesta
Respuesta: 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.
