Do You Need to Press the Clutch and Brake When Starting the Engine?
1 Answers
Whether you need to press the clutch and brake when starting the engine depends on the situation: for manual transmission cars, you need to press the clutch pedal when starting the engine, but not the brake pedal; for automatic transmission cars, you need to press the brake pedal when starting the engine, otherwise, the engine cannot be started. The clutch is an important component in manual transmission cars, belonging to the vehicle's transmission system. The main functions of the clutch are to ensure smooth starting, facilitate smooth gear shifting, and prevent overload in the transmission system. The brake, also known as the braking system, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, and other transportation tools or machinery. The working principle of the brake: the brake device generates friction between the brake pads and the drum or disc, converting the kinetic energy of the moving car into heat energy during the friction process, thereby reducing the kinetic energy.
