Correct answer
Prevent overpressure in the circuit.
To prevent overpressure by limiting air pressure in the circuit. Distinguish it from a quick-release valve, which releases air from brake cylinders when braking ends, and reservoir drain valves, which allow accumulated water to be removed. It does not bleed hydraulic-fluid lines, and its function is not to send air to the semitrailer. Follow manufacturer instructions for checking and maintaining the system.
