Checking the efficiency of the braking system (VAZ-21099)

In accordance with paragraph 1.1 of the "List of faults and conditions under which operation of vehicles is prohibited", the braking distance of a car with a single press on the brake pedal from a speed of 40 km/h should be no more than 12.2 m. The test is carried out on a dry, clean, horizontal section of the road with concrete or asphalt pavement. The car's braking system must be sealed. The brake fluid level in the reservoir must be at the "MAX" mark.

1. Accelerate the car to 40 km/h.

2. Press the brake pedal all the way down, locking the wheels, and hold it in this position until the car comes to a complete stop.

3. Measure the braking distance of the car with a tape measure. If the length is more than 12.2 m, the braking system is not effective enough.

4. To eliminate the influence of side effects, the braking distance is checked by accelerating the car in two opposite directions on the same section of the road.
