- To indicate that the parking brake has been applied.
- To warn of a sudden loss of air pressure in the brake lines.
- To show that the air compressor is not building pressure.
Correct answer: To alert the driver when the air pressure in the primary or secondary reservoir drops below 60 psi (414 kPa).
Explanation: The low air pressure warning light and buzzer are designed to alert the driver if the air pressure in either the primary or secondary air reservoir falls below 60 psi (414 kPa), indicating insufficient pressure for safe braking.
