What should you do if your low air pressure warning signal turns on?

  1. Speed up to reach safety

  2. Stop as safely and as quickly as possible

  3. Ignore it, as it's a false alarm

  4. Check your air pressure gauge

The correct answer is: Stop as safely and as quickly as possible

When the low air pressure warning signal activates, it is essential to stop as safely and as quickly as possible. This alert indicates that the air braking system, which is crucial for the operation of the vehicle, may be compromised. It's a critical safety mechanism that can lead to brake failure if not addressed promptly. Responding immediately by finding a safe area to pull over ensures that you can inspect the vehicle and determine the issue with the air pressure. Continuing to drive while this warning is on could lead to a complete brake failure, putting you, your passengers, and other road users at grave risk. Prioritizing safety in emergency situations like low air pressure alerts is paramount for commercial drivers.
