Should the Clutch Be Depressed When Parking on a Slope?
1 Answers
Yes, the clutch should be depressed. When performing a hill-start or parking on a slope, you should first press the brake and then the clutch. Here is some relevant information: 1. If you press the clutch first, the car will be in neutral, losing engine control and potentially rolling backward. Therefore, when parking on a slope, you should first press the brake and then the clutch. 2. However, the higher the speed, the greater the inertia. If you press the clutch first, the car's inertia will increase, leading to the danger of coasting in neutral. Thus, you must first press the brake to reduce the speed. When stopping at a red light, press the clutch first and then the brake. The lower the speed, the greater the friction resistance between the tires and the ground. Pressing the brake first at this point can easily cause the vehicle to stall. Therefore, when encountering a red light, you should first press the clutch and then the brake.
