    • Function test:

      -- With engine switched off, depress brake pedal firmly several times (to deplete vacuum in brake booster).

      -- Depress and hold brake pedal with average foot pressure and start engine. If brake booster is working properly, pedal will be felt to give noticeably under foot (booster assistance becomes effective).
