Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
In a vehicle without ABS, the brake pedal suddenly fails to slow the car. What does Arizona’s manual advise first?
Correct answer: Pump the brake pedal rapidly to try to build up pressure.
Why
For brake failure in a vehicle without ABS, rapid pedal pumping may build pressure. If it fails, gradually use the parking brake while retaining its release control, select a lower gear and seek a safe stopping area. Do not pump functioning ABS during an emergency stop.
