No because it only engages the rear wheel brakes and at best, the rear tires will lock up. More likely, a lot of smoke and no stopping. After destroying the rear brakes and tires and nothing is working, the driver may shift into "neutral" and then come to a stop ... the rear wheels and probably the tires will have to be replaced.

There is a pattern:

Shift into Neutral
to save your life.

yes yes, this I knew. I just was curious what would happened if the smart keys got thrown out the window...I mean, obviously being minus your keys is preferable to being dead

thats what i tried to say.Another way is to put your head between your legs and kiss your but good by.
I tried hitting the brakes and putting it in neutral and it works
