How to Properly Press the Clutch for Reverse Parking?

[LeoMarie]

Place the ball of your foot on the clutch pedal with your heel resting on the ground as a support point. When the clutch is fully depressed, keep your knee slightly bent. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Clutch Usage: Many people tend to stall the car during reverse parking, largely due to improper clutch operation. The clutch should be engaged slowly. Before shifting gears, fully depress the clutch with your left heel grounded as a support point, then gradually lift the ball of your foot. Experienced instructors suggest counting from 1 to 6—this timing ensures the clutch is fully released. 2. During the Reverse Parking Test: When stopping, first press the clutch, then immediately follow with the brake. Pressing the brake directly may cause stalling or jerking. When starting, release the brake first, then slowly release the clutch. This ensures smooth forward movement.
