About the seatbelt in the car?

I'm just guessing that you are asking about a truck and not a train. You use them the exact same way you use an automobiles hydraulic brake except in most cases you don't push quite as hard on the peddle. Just before the truck comes to a full stop release the brake slightly, then reapply to avoid a jerky stop. It won't take long for you to get the "feel" of air brakes.

Which is the costliest car in the world?

An air brake is a conveyance braking system applied by means of compressed air. Modern trains rely upon a failsafe air braking system.
In the air brake's simplest form, called the straight air system, compressed air pushes on a piston in a cylinder. The piston is connected to a brake shoe which can rub on the train wheel, using the resulting friction to slow the train.
