Correct answer
- APisar los pedales de embrague y freno a la vez.press the clutch and brake pedals at the same time.
When you brake sharply, there is a danger that the wheels will lock and you will lose control of the vehicle. To prevent this, there is ABS, an anti-lock safety system that stops the wheels from locking under hard braking. In an emergency stop, press the brake and clutch pedals at the same time, so that the engine does not stall and the anti-lock braking system (ABS) does not stop working. When the ABS comes into action, you will feel a slight vibration in the pedal, which is completely normal.
