This sounds like a mistranslation of "covering the brake", which means to hold your foot above the brake pedal in preparation of braking, but without actually depressing the pedal. It's what you do when entering a situation where you are not accelerating and may have to brake suddenly, so that your foot is already in very close to the pedal and you can apply the brakes as quickly as possible if needed.
For example, if you're approaching a corner and there are children waiting to cross the street, you'll be coasting and watching the kids with your foot near to the brakes, ready to brake immediately if one of them unexpectedly runs into the street. You would "cover the brakes" in this case.
Note that this is different from "riding the brakes", which means to constantly be applying the brakes, possibly even while accelerating. Riding the brakes will cause premature brake wear, reduced stopping capability (due to the extra heat), and probably warped rotors.
