If the vehicle has brakes on the steer axle (which any truck from 1975 and newer will have), they're using both the primary and secondary system - primary for the drive axle and trailer brakes, secondary for the steer axle brakes, and often for any additional lift axle brakes, as well.

Is the emergency brake a hydraulic system that is automatically actuated when the driver depresses the brake pedal?
No, the regular brake system is a hydraulic system that is actuated when the driver depresses the brake pedal. The emergency brake is a direct mechanical system that is manually actuated when the driver pulls the hand lever or depresses the emergency brake pedal, which is separate from the brake pedal.
True or false a car's brake system multiplies the force of the driver's tap on the brake pedal?
true!
What does a brake booster do?
a brake booster supplies power to the brake system. this takes the hard out of the brake pedal allowing brakes to work harder with less effort or pressure on pedal from the driver
Is it true that a car's break system multiples the force of the driver's tap on the brake pedal?
Yes.
Where is the brake light switch?
THE BRAKE LIGHT IS LOCATED BELOW THE DASH. LOCATE THE ARM HOLDING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND YOU WILL SEE A SWITCH THAT COMES OUT WHEN THE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED TURNING THE LIGHT ON. WHEN THE BRAKE IS RELEASED THE SWITCH DEPRESSES AGAIN TURNING THE LIGHT OFF.
Does a car's brake system multiply the force of the driver's tap on the brake pedal?
Yes. Most cars have a hydraulic braking system that uses a vacuum servo (or booster). It is a mechanical device between the brake pedal and the master cylinder piston. The booster uses the engine's manifold vacuum to amplify the force applied from the brake pedal.
What brake pedal is the cause of air being in the brake system?
The brake pedal has nothing to do with it. If air is in the system then bleed the brakes.
Your brakes lights stay on not all the time what do you do.it is a Chevy truck 2002?
Under the brake pedal is a brake light switch that when you press the pedal it hits it and makes your lights come on..sometimes when they get weak the pedal depresses them simply from the weight of the pedal and they stay on..Have a friend get inside the truck and pull UP on the brake pedal as you look at the lights..if the brake lights go off when they pull up on it..then it is that switch under the brake pedal
What does the brake pedal assembly uses a mechanical lever for?

What does Brake Assist system mean?
Basically, a brake assist system monitors the driver?s use of the brake pedal, automatically sensing an attempt to stop the car as a result of panic. It then generates very high braking power, even when the driver is only pressing lightly on the brake pedal. When this is used together with anti-lock braking systems, it results in faster and safer braking. Source: http://www.brakeassist.com
