Your motor vehicle is equipped with an electronic braking system (EBS). What happens in the event of a failure of the EBS?

The error in the system will be indicated by an indicator light

The vehicle is braked with the assistance of the pneumatic redundancy pressure

The vehicle can now only be braked using the parking brake

Here is Our AI Assistant's Explanation

You selected both correct answers. In vehicles with an electronic braking system (EBS), if the EBS fails, an indicator light will alert the driver to the error, and the braking system automatically switches to a backup using pneumatic (air) pressure. This redundancy ensures the vehicle can still brake safely, even without the electronic control. The parking brake remains separate and is not the only braking method available in case of EBS failure. Understanding this helps you recognize warning signs and know your vehicle’s backup systems for safe operation.
