How to Brake in a Manual Transmission Car?
1 Answers
Manual transmission car braking method: Release the accelerator, press the brake pedal, and when the speed decreases, press the clutch pedal until the vehicle comes to a complete stop, then shift the gear lever back to neutral. If the speed is not too high, you can release the accelerator first, then press the clutch pedal, followed by the brake pedal. Pressing the clutch pedal in advance serves two purposes: preventing the car from stalling and disconnecting the engine from the transmission, stopping the engine from providing power to the car. If braking at a higher speed, always release the accelerator first, then press the brake pedal, and finally press the clutch pedal. This is because the vehicle's inertia is greater at higher speeds; releasing the accelerator and pressing the brake pedal first can reduce the engine's speed, and the lower engine speed can help suppress some of the wheel's speed. At this point, pressing the brake pedal, combined with the braking effect of the brake pads, will yield better results.
