Commercial Driver's License

Category - Standard Driving

In certain commercial vehicles that have air brakes, which device tells the driver how much air pressure is being applied to the brakes?
  1. Air flow governor
  2. Supply pressure gauge
  3. Low air pressure warning signal light
  4. Application pressure gauge
Explanation
Answer: D - In some types of commercial vehicles that use air brakes, the vehicle will have a device that shows how much pressure is being applied to the brakes. This device is not the same as the supply pressure gauge that ALL air brake vehicles have in place. Also, all vehicles have a low air pressure warning system that alerts drivers when air pressure falls below 60 psi. The air governor controls the air compressor, allowing new air into the tanks when it is needed.
