If you are driving and experience sudden brake pedal failure, what is the best immediate sequence of actions?
A control detail shows a broad brake pedal on the left and a narrow accelerator on the right. The card states that the brake pedal has suddenly failed; neither pedal is selected.
Correct answer: Pump the pedal, gear down, and apply the parking brake gently.
Why
Pumping builds pressure, downshifting uses the engine to slow down, and cautious use of the parking brake brings the car to a halt safely.
