What does a brake adjustment indicator show?

A brake adjustment indicator is specifically designed to monitor the status of the vehicle's brake system, particularly the adjustment of the brakes. It provides real-time feedback on whether the brakes are within acceptable adjustment limits. This is crucial for safety, as improperly adjusted brakes can lead to decreased braking efficiency and increased stopping distances, potentially resulting in accidents.

By indicating if the brakes are properly adjusted, this tool helps ensure that drivers and fleet managers can maintain their vehicles for optimal performance and safety. The importance of keeping brakes correctly adjusted cannot be overstated, as it directly impacts a driver's control and the overall effectiveness of the braking system.
