What if the throttle suddenly gets stuck?

In the process of daily use of vehicles, strictly observing the traffic rules can naturally greatly improve the driving safety of vehicles, but we should also pay attention to one point, that is, in the case of small probability, vehicles may have some unexpected situations, especially the key control parts of vehicles such as accelerator brakes. At this time, it is very important to adopt the correct coping style. Then, let's talk about what to do if the throttle suddenly gets stuck while the vehicle is driving. The old driver replied that it was wrong to step on the brakes. Remember the following two points to save yourself!

The first thing to know is that if the accelerator suddenly gets stuck while the vehicle is driving, the engine of the vehicle will continue to output power to the vehicle because the accelerator pedal has been depressed. In this case, just stepping on the brake pedal can't achieve vehicle braking in time and effectively, and it may also lead to vehicle out of control because it destroys the dynamic balance of the vehicle. Therefore, in case of sudden throttle jam, try to keep calm, stabilize the steering wheel and control the driving direction of the vehicle, and then carry out the first step of self-help operation, that is, put the gearbox into neutral, so that the engine will suddenly speed up because the load will suddenly become extremely low, and in order to protect the engine, the relevant control system will give the instruction of fuel cut. So the power output of the engine will not be as continuous as before. It should be noted that during this operation, the engine will make a harsh roar, which is a normal phenomenon. Don't be afraid, get ready for the second operation.

After the step of shifting the gearbox to neutral is completed, the next step is to brake the vehicle completely. What needs attention is not to brake immediately, but to fully observe the surrounding road environment first. If the vehicle is on a ramp, let the vehicle continue to drive for a certain distance, and then pull over to a relatively straight and safe section. If it was originally on a flat road, cut neutral and then turn off the engine, and use the brake to slow down and pull over.

Last but not least, remember to turn on the double flash when you pull over. At this time, don't rush to deal with the vehicle, spread the triangle warning sign on the vehicle far enough behind the vehicle, and then go back to your car to check the throttle mechanism. If the foot pads or other objects get stuck in the accelerator, clean them up. If there is something wrong with the throttle itself, you have to contact the trailer and drag the car to a professional garage for a comprehensive inspection. Don't rush to the road before the problem is solved.
