The brake system that applies and releases the brakes when the driver uses the brake pedal is called the

• A. Service system
• B. Parking system
• C. ABS
• D. Regenerative system

Answer: (A)

Pressing the brake pedal activates the service brake system. This is the primary friction braking path that uses hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder to apply the brakes at each wheel, slowing or stopping the vehicle as you press and releasing when you lift off the pedal. The parking brake is a separate system used to hold the vehicle in place when parked. ABS is a control feature that modulates braking pressure to prevent wheel lock during hard braking, not the basic pedal-activated braking path. Regenerative braking slows the vehicle by using the electric drive motor to recover energy, and it may work together with the service brakes but it’s not the system directly described by the pedal press.
