Keep your foot off the brake and gas pedals and coast until you regain traction.
I have had this happen to me and my foot was on both the gas and brake pedals at the same time.
Take your foot off the gas and move it to the pedal on its side - the brake pedal.Take your foot off the gas and move it to the pedal on its side - the brake pedal.Take your foot off the gas and move it to the pedal on its side - the brake pedal.Take your foot off the gas and move it to the pedal on its side - the brake pedal.
No, you must use only one. (Unless you are driving a manual shift vehicle, and use your other foot for the clutch. ) But still, you are supposed to use just one foot for both gas and brake. It would be both counterproductive and mechanically unwise to use one foot on the gas and one on the brake. When you need to brake, if you still have a foot on the gas, you won't be slowing much-- any slight speed advantage in depressing the brake is greatly outweighed by the likelihood of depressing both pedals at once.
Whether or not the brake and/or gas pedals are pressed, how far they are pressed, & for how long.
In some instances the brake pedal and accelerator are set too close together. This was the case in the 1980s with the Audi 4000 & 5000. This caused people to push both pedals at the same time and cause accidents. But in most cases it is caused by drive error. The driver believes he is pushing the brake pedal when in fact he is pushing the accelerator. How is this possible? Do you not know by now that, for the most part, people today are not that mechanically smart. They may have lots of so-called book learning but common sense eludes them. They think they are pushing the brake pedal and will not accept the fact that they are not. Commons sense tells you that if the car is accelerating and not stopping you are pushing the wrong pedal, but alas they are not smart enough to see that. You cannot fix stupid.
Usually two, gas and brake. There may also be an emergency brake pedal (usually far away from the other pedals, right up against the side wall) and in older cars there's often ... well, "pedal" is generous, but there may be a step switch for turning on and off the high beams on the headlights. If so, the switch will usually be in the "corner" of the driver's foot area as far from the center of the car as it's possible to get.
It does have a switch and it is located under the dash on the driver's side (between the brake and gas pedals). There should be a cover over the componant that easily comes off.

The hold button as explained in the manual is a 'hill hold' button if you are starting and stopping (off road) on a hill. It will presumably prevent the vehicle from drifting backward as your foot moves between the gas and brake pedals.
Signal, check rear view mirror, foot off gas, foot on brake, do blind spot check, foot off brake, look into the turn, foot on gas, check rear view mirror.
Covering the brake
Only two. Accelerator (gas) and Brake. There MAY be a third "pedal" lever which would engage the emergency brake -- typically on the far right, against the wall. If this is the case, there will not be a hand brake.
