If the brakes stop working while you are driving, what should you try first?
- Use the parking brake slowly so the rear wheels do not lock
- Press the accelerator to restore hydraulic pressure
- Turn sharply toward the nearest travel lane
- Continue driving until the warning light turns off
Answer: Use the parking brake slowly so the rear wheels do not lock. For brake failure, the manual directs a driver to use the parking brake slowly and be ready to release it if the vehicle begins to skid. A gradual application helps avoid locking the rear wheels. Accelerating cannot repair failed brakes, and a sharp turn creates another loss-of-control risk. Continuing to drive with ineffective brakes is especially dangerous. If the parking brake does not work, turn off the engine and find a safe place to stop off the roadway.
