BDifficulty 2/5

You drive a manual car with a clutch pedal and ABS. In emergency braking, which pedals does the DGT recommend applying?

Correct answer

The clutch pedal and the brake pedal

The brake firmly to full pressure, maintaining it, and the clutch to prevent the engine stalling. Do not release brake pressure because the pedal vibrates as ABS operates, and do not delay braking. This recommendation concerns a manual transmission with a clutch pedal: an automatic car does not have that pedal. Do not press the accelerator or confuse emergency braking with ordinary braking using engine braking. Follow vehicle instructions.
