During emergency braking using the controlled method, you are _________.

When performing the controlled braking method for an emergency stop, you are required to do all of the listed actions.

1. Apply the brakes as hard as you can without locking the wheels: In an emergency stop situation, you need to apply maximum brake pressure to achieve the shortest stopping distance. However, it is important to avoid locking the wheels, as locked wheels can result in a loss of control and skidding. Therefore, applying the brakes firmly without causing wheel lock-up is crucial.

2. Keep the steering wheel movements small: During an emergency stop, it is important to maintain control of the vehicle. Keeping the steering wheel movements small helps prevent oversteering or loss of control. Maintaining a steady and controlled direction while braking is essential for a safe and effective emergency stop.

3. Release the brakes if the wheels lock: If the wheels do lock up during the emergency stop, it is necessary to release the brakes momentarily to regain traction and control. This technique, known as "cadence braking" or "pumping the brakes," allows the wheels to start rolling again, providing better stability and maneuverability.
