If your hydraulic brakes stop responding, what does the MTO handbook suggest trying to restore pressure temporarily?
Correct answer: Try pumping the brake pedal.
Why
Try pumping the brake pedal to regain temporary hydraulic pressure. This is brake-failure guidance, not the technique for normal ABS emergency braking. If you stop after brake failure, do not continue driving; call for help.
