That's right.
Oxford gives, 2 pitando (Esp fam) (rápido): me voy pitando que no quiero llegar tarde I’m going to shoot off o dash because I don’t want to be late (colloq); cuando nos vieron llegar, salieron pitando when they saw us coming, they were off like a shot o they legged it o they made themselves scarce (colloq)

Very quick answer, thank you both. Thanks for the examples, JPablo.
Now I also know what "Sal del coche" means.

Sal 'pitando' no lo recuerdo o quizás es un modo español ibérico.
En el cono sur de las Américas, en cambio, recuerdo 'sal rajado'.

Yup, Oxford gives it as a Spain usage.
