Question

1. if you have a faulty accelerator (gas) pedal, and your vehicles engine begins to run faster while driving on the roadway, you should?

a. apply your emergency brake and get off the highway as soon as possible.
b. pump the brake pedal to stop the vehicle.
c. shift into neutral, pull off the roadway, and shut - off the engine.
d. press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor twice to reset it.

Explanation:

When the accelerator pedal malfunctions and the engine runs faster, shifting to neutral disengages the engine from the drivetrain, reducing power to the wheels. Pulling off the roadway is for safety, and shutting - off the engine stops the power source. Applying the emergency brake (A) can be dangerous at high speeds as it may cause skidding. Pumping the brake (B) won't address the root cause of the engine running fast. Pressing the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor (D) is not a proper solution for a faulty pedal.

Answer:

C. Shift into neutral, pull off the roadway, and shut - off the engine.
