This is for the safety of the driver, at adverse conditions such as Fuel leakage, Break failure, Motor failure, etc. At these conditions the driver loses his control on the vehicle which may lead to major accidents. To avoid this driver is provided with a Kill switch on the dashboard and near the seat. On pressing this switch the whole drive system is disconnected from the supply and thus is shut down and the vehicle is brought to a complete halt. In case of brake failure a special switch called Break Travel over Switch (BTOS) is actuated as a brake pedal is displaced by a large amount than the usual action. During the actuation, the operation resembles as that of the Kill Switch.
