DEALING WITH BRAKE FAILURE PROCEDURES <br />The guidelines below can assist you in safely maneuvering your vehicle during brake failure: <br />• Do not force the brake to the floor; you will destroy any chance of rebuilding pressure. <br />• Gently pump the brake pedal to see if you can restore pressure. <br />• Sound your horn and flash your lights to alert other drivers. <br />• Shift to the lowest gear possible. <br />• Remain calm and guide your vehicle into an environment where you can slow the <br />vehicle and bring it to a natural stop. <br />• Look for an outlet. Can you use a natural upgrade to slow the vehicle? Is there a large <br />open parking lot that you can coast across? <br />• Do not pull the parking brake — you could put the vehicle in a tailspin. As an exception <br />in vans or small buses, it may be necessary to use emergency brake but you should <br />control the release with your hand to prevent the brake from locking. <br />• Do not permit the wheels to lock until the vehicle has stopped. <br />04/25/16 PDFConvert. 1073 2. 1.
