How to Coordinate Clutch and Brake When Parking?
1 Answers
Parking involves slowly releasing the clutch and gently pressing the brake. When parking, first consider the convenience for both your own and others' vehicle access. The parking area must be a permitted zone that does not obstruct the passage of other vehicles. Manual Transmission Gear Shifting Method: Simply press the clutch pedal. Each gear shift in a manual transmission vehicle is equivalent to starting the vehicle. If not handled carefully during shifting, the vehicle may stall. Driving a manual transmission vehicle requires ample practice in shifting gears up and down to ensure smooth driving and prevent accidents. Manual Transmission Braking Techniques: Curve Braking: Always brake before entering a curve to reduce speed, then accelerate when exiting. If braking during the curve, adjust the braking force according to the vehicle's arc to avoid skidding or drifting. Smooth Braking: Brake in advance, press slowly, and as the vehicle nears a stop, gradually release the brake until the vehicle comes to a complete halt. Standard Braking Method: When braking, the driver should first observe the vehicle's speed and engine RPM. If the vehicle is in a high gear at high speed, lightly tap the brake first, then shift to a lower gear. The clutch and brake can be pressed simultaneously to prevent stalling. Emergency Braking Method: In emergency braking situations, press both the clutch and brake together. This prevents the engine from stalling and avoids delays in moving the vehicle, which could lead to secondary accidents. It also prevents the driver from panicking and mistakenly pressing the accelerator.
