Release the Clutch or Brake First After Braking?
1 Answers
After braking, you should release the brake before the clutch. There are three types of braking systems: 1. Foot brake: The most commonly used brake while driving is operated by the foot, hence also called the foot brake. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the braking force is transmitted mechanically or hydraulically to the wheel's braking device, creating friction. 2. Parking brake: Also known as the handbrake, it prevents the vehicle from slipping when parked. There are generally two types: the intermediate brake mounted on the driveshaft and the direct rear-wheel brake control. 3. Anti-lock braking system (ABS): When driving on slippery or icy low-friction roads, excessive braking can cause the wheels to lock up and lose traction, leading to a loss of steering control. To enable effective directional control on such hazardous surfaces, the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) was developed.
