Can an Automatic Car Move Just by Releasing the Brake?
1 Answers
Releasing the brake in an automatic car does not necessarily mean it will move immediately; it depends on the actual situation. Whether an automatic car moves after releasing the brake primarily depends on which gear it is in. Typically, when the gear is in D (Drive), R (Reverse), or L (Low), the car will move after releasing the brake. Here are some details about automatic cars: 1. Automatic cars usually use a hydraulic transmission device to replace the mechanical clutch in manual cars, so there is no clutch pedal. 2. When the engine speed of an automatic car is low, the torque transmitted by the fluid is limited and insufficient to propel the car forward. 3. When the gear lever of an automatic car is placed in the forward gear (D), releasing the brake pedal and increasing the throttle and engine speed will enhance the transmitted torque, pushing the car forward.
