Practice question
How does the Spring-Loaded Parking Brake Cylinder (Federspeicherbremszylinder) function in a truck?
- It uses a heavy mechanical coil spring to apply the parking brake; compressed air pressure (Circuit 3) is required to overcome the spring and release the brake
- It requires continuous high hydraulic oil pressure to apply the brake
- It applies braking force only when the driver steps on the accelerator
- It works purely through magnetic attraction
Answer: A — It uses a heavy mechanical coil spring to apply the parking brake; compressed air pressure (Circuit 3) is required to overcome the spring and release the brake
