What is the purpose of the two air pressure gauges on the dashboard of a vehicle with a dual air brake system?
Pick an answer
Correct!
Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.
Correct answer to question 50 (Air Brakes): One shows pressure for the primary system and one for the secondary system, so a driver can tell if either has failed
Why
A dual air brake system has two separate circuits for redundancy, and the two gauges let the driver see immediately if one circuit has lost pressure while the other still holds.
