How do you tell between vacuum and hydraulic assist brakes?

Vacuum Assist:

- Engine Running: When the engine is running, vacuum assist brakes feel light and easy to press.

- Engine Off: When the engine is off, vacuum assist brakes feel hard and require more effort to press.

Hydraulic Assist:

- Engine On or Off: Hydraulic assist brakes feel firm and consistent, regardless of whether the engine is running or not.
