Analyze the emergency scenario

When your accelerator pedal gets stuck while driving, the engine continues to deliver power to the wheels, causing the vehicle to maintain speed or accelerate uncontrollably. To regain control safely, you must immediately cut the transfer of power from the engine to the drive wheels.

Evaluate the options

• Neutral: Shifting into neutral disconnects the engine from the transmission. This stops the engine from propelling the vehicle forward, allowing you to safely use the brakes to slow down and pull over to the side of the road.
• Park: Shifting into park while the vehicle is moving is extremely dangerous. It can lock the drive wheels, cause a loss of control, or severely damage the transmission.

Apply defensive driving principles

Using Defensive Driving techniques, the safest action is to shift into neutral, apply the brakes firmly, steer to a safe location, and turn off the engine once stopped.
