Access keys
Access keys are keyboard shortcuts intended to help users who have difficulty in using pointing devices such as a mouse. Not every user has a graphic environment with a mouse or other pointing device - some rely on keyboard, alternative keyboard or voice input to navigate.
The access key shortcuts are allocated as follows:
- Key [ - Jump to the main content on each page.
- Key 0 - Accessibility information.
- Key 1 - Home.
- Key 2 - Sitemap.
- Key 3 - not used (reserved)
- Key 4 - Your Brakes.
- Key 5 - About Us.
- Key 6 - Our Services.
- Key 7 - Brake Cente as Agent.
- Key 8 - Industry News.
- Key 9 - Contact Us.
