1. Pump the brake pedal rapidly. This will help to build up pressure in the brake lines and may allow you to stop the car.
2. Downshift into a lower gear. This will help to slow the car down by using the engine's compression.
3. Use the emergency brake. This will help to slow the car down by using the friction of the brake pads against the rear wheels.
4. Look for a safe place to pull over. If you can, pull over to the side of the road in a safe location.
5. Turn on your hazard lights. This will help to warn other drivers of your situation.
6. Call for help. If you are unable to stop the car, call for help from a tow truck or the police.
Here are some additional tips for preventing brake failure:
* Regularly inspect your brakes. This includes checking the brake pads, rotors, and brake lines.
* Have your brakes serviced according to the manufacturer's recommendations. This will help to ensure that your brakes are in good working order.
* Avoid driving in extreme conditions. Driving in heavy rain, snow, or ice can increase the risk of brake failure.
* If you experience any problems with your brakes, have them checked by a qualified mechanic immediately.
