You must check the tires and wheels of your vehicle as part of the pre-trip inspection to ensure that they meet safety standards.

It is also a good safety practice to inspect the wheels, wheel fasteners and tires after having new tires or wheels installed.

If the pedal shows a steady drop, the vehicle should be taken out of service and the system inspected professionally. Hydraulic brakes (with power assist): With the engine stopped, pump the brake pedal several times to eliminate power assist. Apply brakes moderately and hold. Start the engine (the pedal should drop slightly) and stop. If the pedal continues to drop or does not drop (no power assist), stop the engine. The vehicle should be taken out of service and the system inspected professionally. should hydraulic or air brakes be fanned? ------CORRECT ANSWER--------- ------NO, except on slippery pavement (where it reduces skidding and leads to shorter stopping distance) how should you brake on long downgrades? ------CORRECT ANSWER----- ----------Avoid excessive use of brakes on long downgrades, because overheated brakes are dangerously inefficient. Gear down to use engine compression as the principal means of controlling speed on long grades. You should use the same gear going down a long grade as you would to climb it. Choose the lower gear before you begin going downhill.
