NgoLwesibili, abezindaba baseMelika babike ngodaba lukaJames Sykes, 61, ongakwazi ukumisa imoto yakhe yohlobo lweToyota Prius, ebibhajwe yi-accelerator pedal.  

Inkinga enkulu kakhulu nge-accelerator pedal enamathelayo ezimotweni zakwaToyota iholele esidingweni sesevisi yomhlaba wonke eyenziwe yinkampani ukuqeda inkinga.

Kulokhu kudluliselwa, susa isileva sokushintsha ukusuka ku-D (Drive) ukuya ku-N, i.e. ingathathi hlangothi, bese uvala injini ngokhiye bese umisa imoto.

Uma imoto inenkinobho yokumisa/yokuqalisa, uma ufuna ukumisa injini (kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ijubane lingakanani), bamba inkinobho imizuzwana engaphezu kwemi-3, ngemva kwalokho injini kufanele iyeke ukusebenza.
