Capture/recover vehicle energy

Increase brake lining operating life

Provide propulsion

2. The two systems used with hill-hold to hold a vehicle on a grade or hill are ___ systems.

Hydraulic and mechanical

Mechanical and braking

Hydraulic and electric

Mechanical and electric

3. The two categories of hybrid braking systems are ___ systems.

Series and parallel

Regenerative and base

Electric front and hybrid rear

Electric and solenoid control

4. In the Toyota Prius braking system, the stroke (brake pedal) simulator and sensor provide ___ to the brake system controller.

The length and rate of change of the pedal stroke

Hydraulic pressure of the braking system

Brake pedal pressure and feel

Creep-aid control and solenoid status

5. The primary reason that the hill-hold or creep-aid systems are used in hybrid vehicles is because ___.

There is no engine vacuum during stops

They have higher braking efficiency

Hydraulic-series

7. If the battery-pack SOC level is low while braking, the controller directs the braking system to ___.

Disable electric braking and use 100% hydraulic braking

Use more hydraulic braking force than electric braking force

Use both electric braking force and hydraulic braking force

Use more electric braking force than hydraulic braking force

8. A capacitor bank system is used by ___ in the hybrid braking system.

Toyota

Ford

Honda

All of the above

9. Honda hybrid products are categorized as ___ braking systems.
