Do You Need to Keep the Clutch Pedal Pressed While Driving?
1 Answers
You do not need to keep the clutch pedal pressed while driving. The car will not stall if you release the clutch during steady driving, and you do not need to press the clutch when accelerating. Situations where you need to press the clutch include: 1. When starting the car, quickly press the clutch and then release it to the semi-engaged state; 2. When shifting gears, reduce the speed to the appropriate gear and quickly press the clutch; 3. When stopping the car, press the clutch when the speed is below 15 km/h, then use the brake to bring the car to a halt. When shifting gears while driving, press and release the clutch pedal quickly, avoiding the semi-engaged state, as it accelerates clutch wear. Additionally, ensure proper coordination with the throttle during operation.
