The brake system can operate at full efficiency even if the power steering system is not functioning. If the hydraulic booster system does not work, you will have to apply more force when depressing the brake pedal. If the power brake booster system stops functioning for any reason (e.g. repeatedly pressing the brake pedal with the engine off), the brake system will continue to function.
The amount of force required to depress the brake pedal to brake the vehicle will increase significantly compared to that required when the power steering system was operating. If either of the two hydraulic brake circuits fails, the vehicle can still be braked, only with less efficiency. The failure of one of the circuits of the brake system will be indicated by an increased stroke of the brake pedal, the need to press the brake pedal more strongly to brake or stop the car, and the inclusion of a brake system warning light.
Attention! If the brake booster system fails, or if one of the brake circuits fails, you must immediately contact a specialist to check and repair the brake system.
