Emergency Situations

Why should you shift to neutral instead of turning off the engine if your accelerator sticks?

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. Turning off the engine can cause you to lose power steering and power brakes

If you turn off the engine, you lose power steering and power brakes, making it much harder to steer and stop. Shifting to neutral keeps the engine running so you still have these systems while you slow down.
