Abstract

See full text

A vehicle brake system includes an automated brake application feature. A signaling device allows an individual to generate a signal indicating a desire to have the brakes applied independent of the pedal normally used to apply the brakes. A remote signaling device using wireless communication allows an individual to stand at any location within the vicinity of the vehicle and have the brakes applied without requiring someone to manually operate the pedal device to operate the brakes. The inventive arrangement allows an individual to inspect the operation of brake components and to insure that brake lights are properly functioning.
