Do You Need to Press the Clutch and Brake When Turning in a Manual Transmission Car?
1 Answers
Whether you need to press the clutch and brake when turning in a manual transmission car depends on the situation. Here are the details: 1. Turning while driving: The need to press the clutch and brake depends on the situation. For a wide turn, you may not need to press the clutch or brake; just control the speed and apply the brake slightly to reduce speed, then accelerate after the turn. For a tight turn with a small radius, it's advisable to press the clutch and brake in advance. 2. Precautions: Not slowing down can lead to loss of control, and not downshifting may cause insufficient power, making the car shake or even stall. Downshift before turning and keep the gear engaged. In congested areas, use first or second gear, press the clutch to turn using the car's idle speed, and keep the brake ready for emergencies.
