Class B -5- Driving Dynamics, Braking System - Level 2

2 of 3 Levels

1 / 15

Category: Class B -5- Driving Dynamics, Braking System - Level 2

Your vehicle is equipped with electronic stability control. How will you behave if your vehicle starts to oversteer?

I brake

I disengage the clutch

I give light throttle

I steer according to the curve progression

2 / 15

Category: Class B -5- Driving Dynamics, Braking System - Level 2

What danger exists if you drive with a defective brake booster?

The braking distance becomes longer because the brake pedal must be pressed much harder

The brakes overheat easily

The brakes tend to lock

The braking effect fails completely

3 / 15

Category: Class B -5- Driving Dynamics, Braking System - Level 2

This warning light comes on in your car while driving. What does this mean?

That the brake pads are worn

That the brake pads have gotten wet

That the brake light has failed

That the brake fluid has become too old

4 / 15

Category: Class B -5- Driving Dynamics, Braking System - Level 2

You are driving your car and press the brake pedal. You notice that the free play is significantly larger than normal. What do you conclude from this?

The brake fluid could be too old

The brake system could be defective

The brake booster could be defective

The brakes could be too worn

5 / 15

Category: Class B -5- Driving Dynamics, Braking System - Level 2

The brake fluid in your vehicle has not been changed for several years. Can this become dangerous? Why?

Yes, because vapor bubbles can form during prolonged braking. Then the brakes no longer work

Yes, because the brakes will then wear out faster than normal

Yes, because toxic fumes can develop when braking

6 / 15

Category: Class B -5- Driving Dynamics, Braking System - Level 2

How do you behave when you detect a defect in the service brake?

I stop and check the brake fluid level

I continue driving and have the brakes checked at the next service

I stop and perform a pressure test with the brake pedal

I continue driving and use the parking brake to stop

7 / 15

Category: Class B -5- Driving Dynamics, Braking System - Level 2

You determine that the brake fluid level in the reservoir has dropped too far. How do you behave?

I must have all the brake fluid replaced

I continue driving until the next service appointment

I perform a leak test

I have the brakes checked at a workshop

8 / 15

Category: Class B -5- Driving Dynamics, Braking System - Level 2

This warning light comes on in your car while driving. How should you behave?

I must have the car towed

I should make a workshop appointment as soon as possible

I may no longer have the car towed

I must immediately top up brake fluid

9 / 15

Category: Class B -5- Driving Dynamics, Braking System - Level 2

This warning light comes on in your car while driving. How do you behave?

I carefully drive to the next gas station and only have the brake system checked there

I carefully drive to the next workshop and only have the brake system checked there

After stopping, I perform a complete stationary brake test

I stop immediately and expect the braking effect not to be as strong as usual

10 / 15

Category: Class B -5- Driving Dynamics, Braking System - Level 2

How often should the brake fluid in your vehicle be changed?

At least every 2 years, unless the operating manual says otherwise

Whenever the brake fluid level in the reservoir reaches the minimum mark

Whenever the brake fluid changes color

Whenever the brake warning light comes on

11 / 15

Category: Class B -5- Driving Dynamics, Braking System - Level 2

This warning light comes on in your car while driving. What can this mean?

That part of the brake system has failed

That there is too little brake fluid in the reservoir

That the brake light has failed

That the brakes have been overheated

12 / 15

Category: Class B -5- Driving Dynamics, Braking System - Level 2

You check the brake system of your car while stationary. Is this sufficient to determine whether the brakes work properly? Why?

No, because I can only check the free play while driving

No, because I cannot check either the effect or the evenness of the braking

Yes, because I can check the free play and the brake fluid

Yes, because the brake system is completely checked this way

13 / 15

Category: Class B -5- Driving Dynamics, Braking System - Level 2

You check the brake system of your car while stationary. During the pressure test on the brake pedal, you notice that the brake pedal slowly gives way. What do you conclude from this?

The brake fluid is too old

The brake system has become leaky

The brake pads are worn

The brake booster is defective

14 / 15

Category: Class B -5- Driving Dynamics, Braking System - Level 2

How do you check the brake booster of your car?

This is only possible at a workshop

I press the brake pedal several times with the engine off. Then I start the engine. The brake pedal must give way slightly

This is only possible during towing

I drive at about 20 km/h and make a braking test. The car must stop within 10 m

15 / 15

Category: Class B -5- Driving Dynamics, Braking System - Level 2

There is too little brake fluid in the reservoir. What causes can this have?

That the brake system has become leaky

That the brake pads have worn down

That the brake fluid has evaporated over time

That the brakes have been overheated
