Does a Dual-Clutch Transmission Have a Manual Mode?

[SanAurora]

Dual-clutch transmissions do have a manual mode. Below are some considerations regarding clutch operation during braking: No need to press the clutch: When the vehicle needs to decelerate during normal driving, and releasing the accelerator doesn't achieve the desired speed reduction, braking is required to adjust speed. In this situation, generally, there's no need to press the clutch. However, as per standard practice, the left foot should rest on the clutch pedal, ready to engage if necessary. Need to press the clutch: During driving, frequent operation of the clutch can cause relative slipping between the driving and driven parts of the clutch, generating frictional heat. If this heat isn't dissipated promptly, it can significantly affect the reliability and service life of the clutch.
