Be careful of downshifting and sudden acceleration, as this could result in
the vehicle skidding to the side or spinning.

brake and depress the brake pedal.
If the accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed instead of the brake pedal
when the shift lock override button is pressed and the shift lever is shifted
