What should you do if your accelerator pedal sticks to the floor or your engine races out of control?

• Kick the side of the accelerator pedal once to try to jar it free, then continue driving normally
• Shift the car to Park and turn off the ignition immediately
• Shift the car to NEUTRAL while applying the brake, and choose an escape path leading to an open zone off the roadway
  Explanation:

  "If your accelerator pedal sticks to the floor or your engine races out of control: 1. Kick the side of the accelerator once to try to jar it free. 2. Shift the car to NEUTRAL at the same time you apply the brake. 3. Choose an escape path that leads to an open zone off the roadway. Continue braking. 4. If you are steering into a sharp curve or turn, shift to NEUTRAL immediately. Depress the clutch in a stick-shift vehicle. The engine will race, but power is removed from the drive wheels. You might damage the engine or transmission in an automatic transmission, but you may avoid a collision. 5. Follow your escape path off the roadway. 6. Turn off the ignition once you are off the roadway."
• Continue driving at a constant speed and wait for the issue to resolve on its own
