What to Do When the Brake Pedal Won't Depress and the Car Won't Start?
1 Answers
The solutions for a non-depressible brake pedal and failure to start are: 1. Try restarting the engine and press the brake pedal firmly until it resumes normal function after ignition. 2. If repeated attempts fail to restore normal operation, locate a nearby repair shop to resolve the issue before continuing to drive. Additional tips for daily braking: 1. At low speeds, emergency braking is acceptable for sudden obstacles by fully depressing the brake pedal, but avoid this at high speeds to prevent skidding or rollovers. 2. On normal roads, apply gradual braking: disengage the accelerator while pressing the clutch, shift to a lower gear, and after speed reduction, release the clutch and press the brake until stopped. 3. For prolonged downhill slopes or frequent braking scenarios prone to overheating, use intermittent braking (alternately pressing and releasing the brake pedal) to effectively prevent excessive brake system temperatures.
