Should Both the Clutch and Brake Be Pressed When Shifting Gears in Subject Two?
1 Answers
When shifting gears in Subject Two, you should first press the clutch and then the brake. The reason is that Subject Two only uses first gear and reverse gear throughout the test, with the speed controlled by the clutch. When you need to slow down or stop, you must first press the clutch fully and then use the brake to slow down or stop. There is only one exception: when stopping on a slope, once you identify the correct spot, press both the clutch and brake simultaneously to stop. The details are as follows: 1. Low Speed: When stopping at low speed, press the clutch first, followed by the brake until the car stops. This is because the lower the speed, the greater the friction resistance between the tires and the ground. If you press the brake first, the engine may stall. 2. Clutch Operation: The key points for clutch operation when starting are: fast, slow, and coordinated. Quickly lift the pedal at the beginning; when the clutch reaches the semi-engaged state (indicated by a change in the engine sound), lift the pedal slightly slower; during the transition from engagement to full connection, slowly lift the pedal. While lifting the clutch pedal, gradually press the accelerator pedal according to the engine resistance to ensure a smooth start.
