What to do when a car loses its brakes or loses control?

It is rare to happen but the loss of brakes and loss of driving are two of the most dangerous technical incidents when the vehicle is in traffic.

• What to do to prevent "wrong foot brake and accelerator"?

Therefore, in order to prevent and handle unexpected situations, car users must ensure periodic care, repair and maintenance, refer to and improve skills to handle emergency situations. level.

When you lose the brakes, go to the low gear

According to experts in the automotive field, the phenomenon of brake failure does not only happen to older cars. New cars may also experience a loss of brakes. When encountering this unexpected situation, drivers are often passive, frantic, and have serious consequences.

The phenomenon of brake loss occurs most often with cars running long distances, hilly roads and rugged terrain . Because when driving in these roads, drivers often use brakes too much, while the brakes of most vehicles are oil driven and powered by vacuum gas, so when using a lot of heat, the heat is generated. brake on brake, do not eat brake, tumble cupen in brake cylinder and each time brake pedal causes brake fluid to escape, resulting in braking loss.

About low numbers when the car loses its brakes (including with automatic vehicles).

When you lose your brakes, calmly pull the handbrake, then try to push the gear lever back to position 1 so that the car decelerates to the slowest level.

Note: K is not to the 0 (N) for too long, because when the car is going downhill and you hit it to zero, the car will go faster and it is difficult to re-enter the number due to the speed of the machine and Wheel rotation speed is no longer fast.

For example, your car is going down at position 3 and suddenly lose its brakes, to put it into the number 1 you hit, to zero; release the tapered leg and swell the accelerator pedal to speed the speed of taching machine with the wheel speed; followed by kicking the leg, putting it on the number 2. At this time, the car will stop and jerk suddenly, you should push the gear lever to 1, the speed is very slow, you can stop the car by releasing it The handbrake pulled and then quickly pulled to stop the car completely.

When you lose your brakes, you should repeatedly brake the brake pedal repeatedly to temporarily recover the hydraulic pressure in the leaked pipe . Then, stop the vehicle by relying on the railings, steel railing, wall, curb, cliff .

For vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions, when the brake is lost, push the gear lever to R (reverse gear) so that the wheels are locked, this way may damage the gearbox, but it will be safer.

In addition, it is possible to slow down the speed by pushing the gear lever into the driving mode of the floor, shifting the number one by one: D3, D2, D1 . based on the speed of the vehicle at the time of braking loss. Next is to pull the hand brake, turn off the air conditioner so that the engine cycle is not high, when at L, the speed decreases to about 20km / h and you can lower and continue to pull the hand brake to lift, release, or warn everyone on the car clung to the seat, yanking hard to stop the car .

In order to minimize the impact that leads to a brake failure, you should get into the habit of going low (number 1, 2 or 3) every time you drop a hill, a high slope, or a rugged terrain so that a low turn will slow down drift of the car, burden the burden of braking. Remember, those vehicles that are cared for, repaired and maintained on a regular basis have a brake loss rate of only 1%.

When you lose your drive, slow down

Losing the driver is when you cannot control the vehicle in the right direction. Losing the driver comes from two main reasons: One is the technical error of the car (explosion of a tire, a certain part in the steering system or related parts is broken, stuck, the wheel system is not weighed. correct correction .); The second is the driver's fault of the driver (not controlling the speed, not controlling the accelerator, brake pedal, cornering at high speed, walking on slippery roads .).

When the car loses driving, the car is thrown off the road, calmly hold the driver, do not try to drive the car to return to the road immediately. At the same time, release the accelerator to slow down and not step on the brake pedal. Wait while the car is slow, look closely and word
From driving to driving back to the road.

When the car loses driving, the car is thrown off the road, calmly hold the driver.

In order to limit the damage on the vehicle, which may lead to loss of driving, you should periodically maintain the steering system and related details such as steering wheel, checkerboard, bearings, rubber gaskets, and always check tire yield, align wheel angle .

When driving, do not launch quickly, do not overtake, go at the right speed, keep a safe distance with vehicles traveling on the road. When going through slippery, wet, rainy terrain, it must reduce speed, at least 10% compared to the sunny day speed on a straight line; 20% off if
cornering sugar. Do not brake immediately, pull the hand brake when the vehicle skid, increase the safe distance with the vehicle ahead.

At cornering sessions, you use the best possible slashing action to reduce corners. When going on a mountain road with many bends, drivers must drive to the side of the mountain, decelerating when cornering, the road surface is inclined towards ta-luy (negative side).
