English term or phrase: Power brakes

I would like to know the best translation of this phrase from Ecuadorian Spanish into American English.

It's a translation of a conversation between a person from Ecuador and two attorneys living in The US. The speaker doesn't has a high level of education. He is a native speaker from that country living in The US for many years. He experienced a construction accident.
Is okay to translate as frenos de motor?

Context:

Conversation between attorney and Ecuadorian Spanish native speaker.

Attorney: Did you use your power brakes before that car accident? Does your car has power brakes?

Spanish speaker: Si, yo los use.
