If your brakes go out, the first step is to remain calm and avoid panic. Shift your car into a lower gear to help slow down the vehicle using engine braking. You can also gently apply the parking brake while being cautious not to engage it too quickly, as this could cause the wheels to lock. Finally, steer the car towards a safe area, like an open space or a soft shoulder, to come to a stop.
