What does SSS stand for in emergency braking?

• A. Stop Save Stop
• B. Stomp Stay Steer
• C. Steer Stop Start
• D. Stomp Stop Steer

Answer: (B)

Stomp, Stay, Steer is the emergency braking sequence. When a sudden hazard appears, you push the brake pedal firmly to maximize stopping power. Stomp the brake to engage the system at full braking effort. Then stay on the brake—keep your foot applied and avoid lifting or easing off so the brakes stay working hard. Finally steer to avoid the obstacle while continuing to brake, using controlled, small inputs to stay in control and choose a safe path. If your car has ABS, you’ll feel pulsation in the brake pedal, which is normal and means the system is maintaining steering control while you brake. The idea is to achieve the shortest stopping distance while keeping control, rather than releasing or restarting braking mid-act.
