The service brakes fail to respond. If attempts to restore hydraulic pressure do not work, how should a conventional parking brake be used to help stop?
Correct answer: Apply it slowly and release it if a skid starts.
Why
The handbook first describes pumping the service-brake pedal to try to restore pressure in a failed system. If that fails, apply the conventional parking brake slowly and be ready to release it if a skid starts. Find a safe place to stop off the roadway and obtain repair. Follow the vehicle’s instructions for its specific controls; this is not routine braking with a working ABS system.
