If you experience a total service brake failure while driving on a flat road, arrange the standard emergency response actions in the correct sequential order from first to last.
- 1Pump the brake pedal rapidly several times.
- 2Shift the transmission into a lower gear.
- 3Carefully apply the parking brake while holding the release button or lever.
- 4Steer safely toward the shoulder or off the roadway.
Cevap
The correct emergency sequence is: first pump the brake pedal rapidly, next shift into a lower gear, then carefully apply the parking brake, and finally steer safely off the roadway.
When service foot brakes fail completely, the immediate priority is to attempt restoring hydraulic pressure by pumping the pedal. If pressure fails to build, downshifting into a lower gear uses engine compression to slow the vehicle down safely. Next, applying the parking brake gradually provides additional stopping power without locking the rear wheels. Finally, once speed has dropped, steering off the active roadway permits bringing the vehicle to a controlled stop.
