16. Text Task 2 Task 1 Reading B Task 3

17. Reading B How Emergency Brakes Work Emergency brakes are a secondary braking system installed in motor vehicles. Also known as e-brakes, hand brakes and parking brakes, emergency brakes are not powered by hydraulics and are independent of the service brakes used to slow and stop vehicles. The e-brake is called an emergency brake for a reason -- using it can save your life.

18. Reading B Chrysler Service Contracts Emergency Brake Parts Motor vehicles use either drum brakes or disc brakes. Drum brakes are common in the rear wheels, while disc brakes are most common on the front wheels (or all four wheels). Electric e-brakes are available on some cars today. Advanced electric brake systems utilize computer-controlled motors to engage the brake caliper.

19. Reading B Chrysler Service Contracts When to Use the Emergency Brake The most common use of the emergency brake is as a parking brake. Those who drive manual transmission vehicles, or stick shifts, usually engage the emergency brake every time they exit the car. If not engaged, the car might just roll away all on its own. Automatic transmission drivers tend to use the emergency brake far less. The emergency brake can also be used as an aid to manual transmission drivers to prevent rollback when starting on a hill. Pulling the emergency brake while stopped, and then letting it out as you release the clutch can be tricky, so you might want to practice this maneuver before depending on it. Make sure there’s no one behind you if you’ve never done it before.

20. Reading B Chrysler Service Contracts Dangers of the Emergency Brake Even though the emergency brake cable is housed in a protective sleeve, with infrequent use, the cable can become corroded and rusted. This can result in cable failure just when you need it the most. Normal use keeps the cable in good condition, though you should have the emergency brakes routinely inspected, as they sometimes need to be tightened. If you’re ever in the highly unlikely but extremely serious situation of having your service brakes fail to function, try to stay calm and pull the emergency brake lever up slow and steady, bringing the vehicle to a longer but more controlled stop.
