If your engine stalls while driving, you should: All choices are correct

Steer to a safe location, turn on hazard lights

Decelerate gradually, shift to neutral, and restart if safe

Signal, pull off the road, and call for assistance

All choices are correct

Maintaining control of the vehicle and getting it safely out of traffic is the priority when the engine stalls. Steer to a safe location and turn on the hazard lights so others know something is wrong and you’re moving under less-than-ideal conditions. Decelerate gradually to avoid sudden loss of control, and, if the situation allows, shift to neutral to reduce engine load and make restart easier; restart only if it can be done safely in that spot. Once you’re off the roadway, signal your intentions and pull completely over so you’re not in the flow of traffic. If the engine won’t restart or you need help, call for assistance.
