What to Do When the Car Stalls While Driving?

In this situation, if the road conditions ahead are good and it is possible to not stop, you can restart the vehicle. The specific steps are: 1. Quickly shift the gear lever to the neutral (N) position, turn the ignition switch to restart the engine, and once the engine starts, promptly shift the gear lever to the D position to resume normal driving. 2. Of course, if repeated attempts to start the engine fail, it indicates a more serious fault, and you should stop to inspect and repair the vehicle. Points to note: 1. Be very careful when using this method to avoid applying excessive force that could push the gear lever directly into reverse (R), which could cause significant damage to the transmission. 2. Additionally, some cars have a secondary start prevention function, requiring you to first turn the key back to the off position before restarting. Therefore, be careful not to let the steering wheel lock if the vehicle is still moving. 3. Moreover, after the engine stalls, the power assist for the brakes and steering will also fail, requiring more effort to control the vehicle. 4. If you are a novice driver, it is best to pull over and restart the car.
