What to Do When the Brakes Fail in an Automatic Transmission Car?
1 Answers
When the brakes fail in an automatic transmission car, it's crucial not to panic. First, turn on the hazard lights to alert other vehicles and avoid traffic accidents. Then, use the following methods to brake: 1. After the brakes fail in an automatic transmission car, you can use the handbrake for braking. Note that you should first release the accelerator pedal, then slowly pull up the handbrake until it's fully engaged to activate the braking effect. 2. Some brake failures are intermittent, so you can repeatedly press the brake pedal at this time to restore the vehicle's braking ability. 3. If the car is equipped with a manual-automatic transmission, you can shift to the M gear (manual mode) and then downshift to brake.
