Answer 1

If the brake pedal goes to the floor, the first thing you should do is **pump the brake pedal three or four times**. This may help to build up some brake pressure, allowing you to slow down or stop the vehicle. If that does not work, you can then consider other options like applying the parking brake or shifting to a lower gear. However, never turn off the ignition while driving, as this can lead to a loss of steering control.
