What to Do When a Manual Transmission Car Stalls on the Highway?
1 Answers
If the car owner suddenly encounters a stall situation, it is best to skillfully use the half-brake technique to stabilize the car's direction and avoid collision with vehicles ahead. Modern cars generally have power-assisted vacuum brakes, so if the car stalls suddenly while driving, the owner should avoid slamming on the brakes. The owner should try to stay calm, pause briefly, and then attempt a second start. It is advisable for the owner to press the accelerator pedal all the way down and hold it, as releasing it would mean losing the last chance.
