Show answer

Correct answer

  • AA un fallo del sistema de frenos.A fault in the braking system.
Explanation

Having to press the pedal all the way down to brake shows that the brake circuit has lost effectiveness: a fault in the braking system. Neither the ABS nor cooling of the discs causes this symptom.
