Perhaps many car owners have imagined a situation, if the car they are driving suddenly breaks down, the throttle can not be returned, how to save their lives at this time?
Stay calm
When we imagine in our minds that the throttle is stuck and cannot be returned, I am afraid that the first reaction of many car owners is that they are at a loss and do not know what to do, or lean down to clean the foot pads or other items that are stuck in the throttle, which is actually very dangerous. When this happens, the first thing to do is to force yourself to calm down, after all, it is only the throttle that cannot be returned, the braking system is still good, and you can still slow down the car. Moreover, the method of reaching out to clean up the items stuck in the accelerator is not advisable, which is likely to lead to the direction of deviation, and it is very easy to cause traffic accidents in the case of high-speed vehicles. So staying calm, holding the steering wheel, and thinking about countermeasures should be your first reaction.
Understand the brake priority system
Immediately after that, the owner of the car understood that most of the models currently on the market are equipped with brake priority systems. That is to say, no matter what the throttle signal is, even if the throttle is stuck, or the throttle and the brake are pressed at the same time, the brake system is prioritized, and when you press the brake, the throttle oil supply system immediately returns to the idle position, reducing the fuel supply to a minimum, so in this case, stepping on the brake is right, do not think too much.
If the brake failure is decelerated in other ways, if it is really very far, the brake failure also fails, at this time the owner has to do everything possible to slow down and keep the direction stable. Can be slowed down by rubbing the inner guardrail or mountain, intermittent light pull handbrake, etc., if it is an electronic handbrake, the long pull during the driving process can also be emergency braking, but do not try in high-speed driving, the vehicle is easy to lose control, very dangerous, only after the deceleration can be forced to pull up the electronic handbrake to brake the vehicle.
In general, the situation where the throttle is stuck and cannot be returned is very dangerous, and what we should do should be as far as possible to prevent this from happening. For example, choosing the right mat of the original factory, not placing excess items in the cab, and storing and fixing the items in the cab as much as possible can effectively prevent problems before they occur.
